Buzz Aldrin Calls for More International Cooperation at the Space Station

Former Apollo 11 moonwalker and MIT-educated NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin has called for more international cooperation in space in an interview with Mike O'Sullivan at the Voice of America.

Aldrin says the United States now has a president who promised change, and one change the former astronaut wants to see is greater cooperation in space. "We, the United States, could help the international partners that we could bring into the space station - China, India, South Korea, Brazil - have them join there and begin to gradually look at the moon as an international project that the US experience can help the other nations land on the moon, and we'll work with them, but not spend our resources and our big rockets and spacecraft to go to the moon. We've done that," he said to the VOA.
