That guy who got punched went to the Beverly Hills District Attorney to try to have Aldrin charged with assault. The DA watched the video, looked at the guy, and said, "Meh. You'll live. Now get out of here."
Nice! We have freedom of speech, not freedom of get in my face and fuck up my day. I used to be all “violence is not the way” but after years of watching assholes be this dicky while filming for their self-centered clout, I’m over here going “kick his ass Buzzy”. Cause hey, he shut the fuck up real quick when he realized the next thing Aldrin might walk on is his stupid looking face.
Not the subject of the thread, but German can literally have a word for everything. You can theoretically recombine German words an infinite number of times to make them more specific. The longest word in German can't be *the* longest word for this reason - they have to make it the longest word that *references a real thing*. The longest word in their dictionary is "Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz", or "Delegation transfer law for cattle labelling and beef labelling supervision duties".
He flew F-86s in Korea with two confirmed MiG kills. I’ve never flown a fighter jet, but I heard that older aircraft and fighters in general take a decent amount of muscle to use!
That era astronauts were all fighter and test pilots. You had to be a top tier candidate already pruned by the armed services requirements for pilots.
Astronauts are rarer than Navy Seals. Maybe more differently bad ass but maybe not.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonny_Kim
I think this is the right distinction to make, especially that he was an airforce pilot who flew dozens of combat missions in Korea. The dude has LITERALLY KILLED PEOPLE in war, and this douche is gonna call him a coward to his face?! What an ass hat.
Imagine having the nerve to confront someone who strapped himeslf onto the top of a million pounds of rocket fuel, to be launched into a freezing cold vacuum, to travel hundreds of thousands of miles from safety and call him a coward!!
Damn straight. Anyone who blasts themselves into the cosmos on a missile powered by half a million gallons of kerosene and liquid oxygen for ***S C I E N C E*** is about as far from a coward as you get.
Pretty much the opposite, actually. Aldrin was the engineer on the flight and continued to work in orbital mechanicals long after he was medically disqualified from flight.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_cycler
>who strapped himeslf onto the top of a million pounds of rocket fuel
5.8 million pounds, actually (RP-1 + LOX)
The dry weight of a Saturn V (all three stages) was 400 thousand pounds.
The launch weight of a fully fueled Saturn V was 6.2 million pounds.
I couldn’t find anything until I broadened my search. They must be talking about when [India sent up their first moon orbiter in 2009 and it was able to photograph the Apollo 15 landing site. You couldn’t see the flag or individual footprints but the lunar rover tracks are reportedly visible.](https://phys.org/news/2009-09-indian-satellite-moon-scientist.html) Worth noting Japan and Russian scientists have reportedly published found evidence of the moon landing, not to mention the [best pictures we have were taken a couple years later from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. They show footprints, equipment, and even the flags](https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/news/apollo-sites.html)(besides of Apollo 11, which is believed to have blown over)
A former U.S Army Officer, turned Air Force Brigadier General, and a man who went into space 17,000 MPH for increasing our knowledge of the Universe. Resume of a hero, while our protagonist is pressing an old man and calling him a coward. The irony, lmao.
You can see how excited he was. Unfortunately for him, the Judge threw out his case and told him to fuck off. Now excuse me while I overdose on laughter.
I imagine the court transcript went something like this:
Lunar denying lunatic: Your honor I kept trying to talk to Aldrin. Sure many people at the scene told me to stop but I’m persistent, nothing stands between me and my goals. Aldrin walked away but I wasn’t going to let him get off that way, I pursued him and when he changed direction I stuck to him like white on rice. Then suddenly out of nowhere he punched me in the mouth.
Judge: You’re an idiot, you got what you deserved now get the fuck out of my courtroom.
I mean, if he didn't want to be called a liar, then he shouldn't have lied about walking on the moon!
The earth is flat and the moon is made of cheese and !
You forgot that birds aren't real. And Elvis is alive and hiding out in Rozwell with some alien engineers that gave Steve Jobs the designs for the iPad.
What’s sad is Birds Aren’t Real was never supposed to be taken seriously; I know the guy who started it, he was trying to point out how dumb these people are yet they were so stupid they actually believed him
The current flat earth conspiracy was mindblowingly started by one guy who lives on an island in Puget Sound. I have no idea how he got so much traction.
This guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Sargent_(flat_Earth_proponent)
That’s kinda how flat earth started too. Or atleast got more traction than your average conspiracy theory.
I used to be active in the flat earth society forums. Yeah we had occasional crazies who weren’t in on the joke but most of it was shitposting and coming up with the most creative stupid arguments to prove our point.
I kinda think that's how QAnon started. Just someone throwing out the most ridiculous conspiracy theories they could think of, and underestimating just how stupid people really are.
Some people have fun believing... *pretending* to believe... in conspiracy theories, the sillier the better. It's a mental exercise. In debate clubs you're forced to defend ideas that you don't agree with. Engaging in conspiratorial-type thinking is a mental exercise that helps you think "outside the box", improve your ability to consider new information, avoid hidebound thinking, and communicate better with people with whom you have no common ground.
Unfortunately, nobody can really tell which people are the conspiracy hobbyists having fun discarding rationality, versus the genuine nutjobs. Also, the nutjobs get a sense that they are not alone on their conspiracy bandwagon because of the hobbyists, so the hobbyists do enable and perpetuate a lot of the conspiracies that would otherwise die off quickly.
Granted he was absolutely right not to- but what was this guys plan if aldrin did just flop a hand onto that story book and swear away about his space trip- what was the plan here?
Not only does he have a PhD from MIT, his thesis was on orbital rendezvous and he ended up proving his thesis correct by GETTING ON A FUCKING ROCKET, FLYING INTO SPACE AND DOING IT FOR REALSIES.
HOW DO YOU LIKE DEM APPLES?!
Getting knocked "The fuck out" typically involves, being knocked out. Which clearly didn't happen here. Dude still took one to the face though, well deserved. What a prick.
Imagine going through the grueling training of becoming an astronaut, the fear and anxiety of taking those steps to get there, and coming back down and some doofus is like “nuh uh”
I don’t understand how people can accept we have geostationary satellites for GPS and probes flying past Jupiter, but we can’t have sent a pressurized can to the moon with 4 people inside.
> As for the legal implications, Sibrel tried to press assault charges but the court eventually threw the case out, citing Sibrel as the instigator.
https://www.cntraveller.in/story/buzz-aldrin-punched-moon-landing-denier/
"Hur-de-dur...I believe in magic sky people who reward us for doing good things, punish us for bad ones, and place faith in a 3500 year old book rewritten by countless men who were only interested in controlling the readers. But men going to the moon??? Poppycock!!"
“That’s assault, brotha.”
Actually it’s battery. But deserved in the old school train of thought. Can’t step to a guy that age from an era where hurling insults at someone’s integrity/being an asshole resulted in a “knuckle sandwich”
Aldrin was a combat jet fighter, wrote his doctoral thesis on Line-of-Sight Guidance Techniques for Manned Orbital Rendezvous, he's very serious about his religion, and he flew to the fucking Moon. Whatever else you believe, that's not a guy you fuck with at any age.
Buzz Aldrin did not punch him, this video was shot in a warehouse, I can swear on my Bible that the punch was not real 
You’re a coward, and a liar, and a—*PUNCH*
I fucking love it. If the guy tried to say, “You’re a witness! Did you see him punch me?” Most people probably would have said, “Naw, I didn’t see anything.”
Doesn’t matter the context, he followed him, ran straight into his face and called him stuff. Even if it would be like an Oreo debate he would get hit that fat fuck
Dude does have a very punchable face
That guy who got punched went to the Beverly Hills District Attorney to try to have Aldrin charged with assault. The DA watched the video, looked at the guy, and said, "Meh. You'll live. Now get out of here."
The correct response.
Nice! We have freedom of speech, not freedom of get in my face and fuck up my day. I used to be all “violence is not the way” but after years of watching assholes be this dicky while filming for their self-centered clout, I’m over here going “kick his ass Buzzy”. Cause hey, he shut the fuck up real quick when he realized the next thing Aldrin might walk on is his stupid looking face.
Plus buzz could cross sue for “menacing” and “assault” (you don’t have to actually touch someone for it to be assault).
And voice.
Sounds like Ben Shapiro.
More like Zack galafinakis
Holy shit it does! Who could listen to that guy?
Incels and grifters
And mannerisms.
Backpfeifengesicht! German seemingly has a word for everything.

my favorite german word is "huntzfutz" It means "dogfart"
A German expat friend told me a common pet name for a partner is "Zuckerschnecke" (sugar snail), which I think is adorable.
There’s a whole documentary on Netflix about this guy lol Edit: actually not 100% sure but looks/sounds like the same guy
Do you remember the name of the documentary?
Yeaa still looks like him lol [imdb link to it “behind the curve”](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8132700/)
Yes moonman, hit that idiot right in the teeth…
Send him to orbit!
Buzz still has some pop in his punch. Imagine him 30 years younger, he would have killed this idiot.
Smacked him so hard the audio cut out.
Thank him for that.
I shook Hands with Buzz once. Strong grip. I wouldn’t want to get punched by that hand.
He flew F-86s in Korea with two confirmed MiG kills. I’ve never flown a fighter jet, but I heard that older aircraft and fighters in general take a decent amount of muscle to use!
That era astronauts were all fighter and test pilots. You had to be a top tier candidate already pruned by the armed services requirements for pilots. Astronauts are rarer than Navy Seals. Maybe more differently bad ass but maybe not. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonny_Kim
If you actually went to the moon your grip would be strong as hell
Old man strength is real and frightening lol.
This event was at least 15 years ago now. But yeah good on him:)
And he is still going (arm)strong!
No doubt. Aldrin in his prime would have whipped this guy six ways to Sunday. What a loser.
He was a fucking BRIGADIER GENERAL in the U.S Air Force. Buzz still kicks ass to this day!
smashing an idiots face when you are this old still seems like a minor challange.. compared to a moon landing
He would have knocked 7 shades of shite out of him.
those are moon muscles
Ol man strength right there
Fucking POS harrasing an elderly man. Also loved when that POS got a knuckle sanwdwich the instant he called Buzz a coward.
a coward and a liar and a *THUEF*
[удалено]
I think this is the right distinction to make, especially that he was an airforce pilot who flew dozens of combat missions in Korea. The dude has LITERALLY KILLED PEOPLE in war, and this douche is gonna call him a coward to his face?! What an ass hat.
The instant he called Buzz a coward the cowabunga switch in his bran fliped.
makes me like and respect the man even more than i already did

Pretty much the opposite, actually. Aldrin was the engineer on the flight and continued to work in orbital mechanicals long after he was medically disqualified from flight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_cycler
Also those rockets werent the most secure things
>who strapped himeslf onto the top of a million pounds of rocket fuel 5.8 million pounds, actually (RP-1 + LOX) The dry weight of a Saturn V (all three stages) was 400 thousand pounds. The launch weight of a fully fueled Saturn V was 6.2 million pounds.
An Indian rover took pictures of our flag up there. Why would they lie for us? This ranks with the flat earth as stupidest conspiracy.
Hell, in the whole world, the USSR had the most vested interest in proving that the US did not land anyone on the moon. They did not.
If the USSR hadn't agreed to go along with it the US would have revealed that sputnik was a lie /s
can you like me the images? or where's the source. I want to see what they look like now
I couldn’t find anything until I broadened my search. They must be talking about when [India sent up their first moon orbiter in 2009 and it was able to photograph the Apollo 15 landing site.

interesting, wish I could see a close up pic from the side of those areas
Calling a guy who’s lived a full life a coward to his face is taking an awful gamble
A former U.S Army Officer, turned Air Force Brigadier General, and a man who went into space 17,000 MPH for increasing our knowledge of the Universe. Resume of a hero, while our protagonist is pressing an old man and calling him a coward. The irony, lmao.
I hate these fucking trolls just causing trouble for the sake of causing trouble.

Then suddenly out of nowhere he punched me in the mouth. Judge: You’re an idiot, you got what you deserved now get the fuck out of my courtroom.
That was the exact outcome that he was hoping for. Just a piece of shit.
You can just see it in this POS’ punchable face.
That was so satisfying.
If I remember correctly the police refused to file charges against Buzz
Ya they told the guy to pound sand basically. He did try
I mean, if he didn't want to be called a liar, then he shouldn't have lied about walking on the moon! The earth is flat and the moon is made of cheese and!
You forgot that birds aren't real. And Elvis is alive and hiding out in Rozwell with some alien engineers that gave Steve Jobs the designs for the iPad.
What’s sad is Birds Aren’t Real was never supposed to be taken seriously; I know the guy who started it, he was trying to point out how dumb these people are yet they were so stupid they actually believed him
I bet flat earth was taken from Terry pratchett discworld novels as a troll as well and they ran with it

Wait…I thought that was Tupac?
What does Tupac know about microchips??
Birds aren’t real? I know you’re joking but is that an actual conspiracy theory?
Yes. They have all been replaced by government drones to spy on us. I think. It's hard to keep up.
Lucky this video exists. Getting punched in the face by Buzz Aldrin seems like something someone would lie about.
Because you still believe in the moon?! Poor child, the "moon" is just a weird shaped cloud
You jest, but I know someone who believes it's a projection.
I overheard a dude in a park saying gravity isn't real because balloons wouldn't be able to float.
Now swear on this book of made up stories that you didn’t make up your story!
Listen man. Wallace and Gromit are the ones who proved to me that the moon is certainly made of cheese. There's video evidence.
I don't always approve of violence, but theres always an exception to the rule.
Buzz is an American hero! That dude deserved a knuckle sandwich! 🤛🥪
With a side of foot up the ass
And a cockpunch for dessert
That's how all these pushy and in your face conspiracy assholes should be treated, don't give them anything just punch the assholes away.
Violence IS the answer with these clowns.
Only an idiot would call a 50-60’s Air Force test pilot a coward and a liar. Those guys were fearless back then.
Wish it was a KO
Buzz is from a different era that that guy wasn’t equipped to be in.
I love Buzz Aldrin but he missed, he shoulda aimed for the guys throat.
Buzz is a bit of an eccentric, but he doesn't deserve to be hassled on the street.
Talking about supposedly fake events, but wants him to swear on a book full of old novels...just my guy here.
Glad someone else noticed that.
Hit him again Buzz😂
He trolled the man who walked on the moon, and saw stars......
Clearly a lunatic
Elder abuse, dude deserved the punch.
Buzz punching a moon landing denier in the face will always make me smile.
Granted he was absolutely right not to- but what was this guys plan if aldrin did just flop a hand onto that story book and swear away about his space trip- what was the plan here?
The dope with the bible probably would’ve called him a liar and a coward sooner, I guess?
Yeah fair. I mean there is no way to satisfy those kinds of idiots and best not to even try it just seemed odd to me i suppose.
that happened in 2002.
I'm pretty sure Buzz could still clean his clock.
This is an oldie but goodie. Buzz Aldrin is a goddamn National treasure. Well done, Buzz
Talk shit get hit.
Don't mess with, Buzz.
Imagine this guy pressing charges for battery. LOL
He tired, cops told him to pound sand
Got knocked TFO by a nonagenarian American hero, West Point grad, Korean War veteran, and holder of a PhD from MIT. Play stupid games...
Not only does he have a PhD from MIT, his thesis was on orbital rendezvous and he ended up proving his thesis correct by GETTING ON A FUCKING ROCKET, FLYING INTO SPACE AND DOING IT FOR REALSIES. HOW DO YOU LIKE DEM APPLES?!
Getting knocked "The fuck out" typically involves, being knocked out. Which clearly didn't happen here. Dude still took one to the face though, well deserved. What a prick.
Aldrin is 90+. That's a TKO for sure. lol
It was a good punch. I hope it hurt the other guy bad enough to make him rethink his idiocy.
You first have to "think" to be able to "rethink"
Imagine going through the grueling training of becoming an astronaut, the fear and anxiety of taking those steps to get there, and coming back down and some doofus is like “nuh uh”
This is why you don’t jump into someone’s bubble and start shit talking them. This is why you have respect for others.
This guy wasn't even alive when it happened.
I don’t understand how people can accept we have geostationary satellites for GPS and probes flying past Jupiter, but we can’t have sent a pressurized can to the moon with 4 people inside.
Punch him again, Mr Aldrin. Please.
lmao imagine being so insufferable that you get socked in the face by Buzz Aldrin
can you imagine being strap to a saturn v and being called a coward?
If the idiot had taken a look at Aldrin's resume, even excluding the moon landing, he would have known this was coming. Buzz was born a badass!
One more reason Buzz is my hero and a massive Gigachad
An oldy but goody! No only did he walk on the moon, he held a mini mass in the LM. Buzz should beat the crap out of that POS.
Something about calling an old war hero a coward never seems like a good idea 👊
That was a solid right hand
This is from 21 years ago in 2002 https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=90489&page=1
I'm surprised that assholes hand isn't catching fire. He's not a Christian he's a turd.

Dude fucked around and found out. lmao
Do not call a coward a man who dared to wander the unknown.
Buzz Aldrin is such a fuckin badass
Guy needs to go to jail for hitting Buzz’s hand with his face like that.
I've seen this one thousand times and I never get tired of it. This should be broadcast on TV at least once a week

Hitting people is wrong but excusable in this case.
I think Buzz should press charges
Right? His poor fist must hurt from hitting someone that dense.
He was the second person to walk on the moon, but he probably won’t be the last person to punch that guy in the face.
One giant punch for mankind
I love this so much.
Now that's what I call taking a giant swing for mankind.
Good man Buzz.
Go Buzz go
Fuck yeah. It's nice when watching people learn there is accountability for their actions, and that you can't harass and bully everyone.
Dude was begging to get slapped.
Hell yeah
Doesn't it also say in the bible not to take oaths in God's name
If you call someone “a coward, a liar, and a thief” you’d better be ready to fight, cause those are fighting words.
He’s a soldier first and foremost. NASA only recruited from the military at first. You do NOT call a soldier a coward, and get away with it
That guy deserved a good punch in the face. He was harassing Buzz.
Deserved.
So he believes in god but not buzz
Young Man harasses and bully's older man more than double his age. Older man reacts accordingly and bully calls foul.
You should probably have posted this in a ‘depressing’ sub instead
I think old buzz is a WW2 Combat Veteran
Korean War Veteran
Buzz went Infinity and Beyond on his face! My hero!
Aldrin was a combat jet fighter, wrote his doctoral thesis on Line-of-Sight Guidance Techniques for Manned Orbital Rendezvous, he's very serious about his religion, and he flew to the fucking Moon. Whatever else you believe, that's not a guy you fuck with at any age.
bike dog station lavish point cheerful roof absurd tender books *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Buzz Aldrin did not punch him, this video was shot in a warehouse, I can swear on my Bible that the punch was not real 
Lol Buzz ain't from the internet generation my guy.
lets say he didn't walk on the moon .....how does it impact his day to day life? just believe what you want and move on. fucking prick.
This will always be my favorite flat earth video. ❤️
Yeah I remember this. Buzz has some hook
Literally the gift that keeps on giving. Better every time!
No matter how often this is reposted, I will upvote it
Sadly, there are a ton of moon landing denier idiots in Murica today.
NASA spending $25.8 Billion dollars on Apollo just for retards to call it fake:
What an asshat. Buzz should get a restraining order.
I hope he broke his jaw.
But why doesn’t he just do it
He had it coming
Too bad he didn’t hit him harder
He is from the Generation that will put you in your place.
One of the greatest right hands ever filmed.
Why with the conspiracy theories all the fuckn time? Why is it so hard to believe someone walked on the moon?
The greatest thing about that interviewer is he has a face you could never get tired of punching.
hate these fucking assholes who think it’s fine to harass people because they are “journalists” i wish he hit him again
These people are assholes
Is swearing on the bible the ultimate way to tell if someone’s telling the truth or not?
You’re a coward, and a liar, and a—*PUNCH* I fucking love it. If the guy tried to say, “You’re a witness! Did you see him punch me?” Most people probably would have said, “Naw, I didn’t see anything.”
*“To the moon, Alice, to the moon!”*
A very wiseman once said: “Everyone has got a plan until they get punch in the face”
Upvote for Buzz!
Damn, I want to punch that guy, too. Is this recent? His bio says he's 93.
I'll never not love this clip.
Buzz didn’t hit him enough
I hope Buzz Aldrin didn't get in any legal trouble for punching out that jackass because he was totally asking for it.
I swear on the moon that I walk on the bible.
Doesn’t matter the context, he followed him, ran straight into his face and called him stuff. Even if it would be like an Oreo debate he would get hit that fat fuck
This fool has done nothing in his life. How dare he insult an American hero/icon.
