Buzz Aldrin
Location: Hospice ████
Buzz Aldrin retells the story of how he landed on the moon and meet ███████ ████
"Magnificent Desolation" Is what i called it I went their with adventure but came back a Changed man yet not for landing on the moon, not for being one of the most famous humans in its recorded history, not for being the first man to leave the moon, but for ███████ a ████ of ███████ █████
Buzz Aldrin is now on his death bed after living a very long life he has had in the space program
"Mr. Aldrin can you please tell us what happened one last time?" said one of the nurses in the Hospice home housing buzz Aldrin the second man on the moon and the first man to leave the moon.
" I mean with Neil gone you are the only link to what actually happened...." another nurse said
"wait you believe in that BS that we never landed on the moon? no let me tell you what happened off camera what actually happened. we didn't just land say our speech and go home." Aldrin replied
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
July, 20 1969 above the sea of tranquility
made █████ with █████
"It all started in the lunar module as we were descending towards the lunar surface" Aldrin narrates
--------- -------- --------------- ------------------- ----------------- ----------------------- --------------------- ---------------------- ----------------
"You are go for landing" Huston says through the radio
"Roger we are go for landing Buzz" Neil said to Me
" I heard Neil"
As i piloted the LM down to the surface
I was very focused on not crashing into the giant craters that surrounded us
"60 seconds" Huston said
"Confirmed" i said as i moved faster
"How about over their the nice flat dark soil away form the craters" Neil said
"Alright over their then"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I made my way over to the safer landing zone i was just focused on landing not about the history that were were about to make, hell we could have crashed and died right then right their and i would not be talking to you right now telling you about the story"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"4 forward. 4 forward. Drifting to the right a little. 20 feet, down a half" i said
"30 seconds" Mission control said
"Drifting forward just a little bit; that's good"
"Contact light" I said
then Armstrong told me "Shutdown" and i did as i was told
"Okay.Engine stop."
"ACA out of Detent." I told Armstrong and mission control
"Out of Detent. Auto." Neil said
"Mode control, both Auto. Descent Engine Command Override, Off. Engine Arm, Off. 413 is in" i told Neil and Huston
" He copy you down, Eagle" Mission control said to us
Then Armstrong said the words that everyone was waiting for " Engine arm is off...Huston, this is tranquility base here...The Eagle has landed"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"we took about 2 hours to get us suited up and ready to go outside on the moon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay Neil we can see you coming down the ladder now" Huston said
" Im at the foot of the ladder, the LM foot pads are compressed in the surface about .. one or two inches, although the surface amperes to be ...uh very very fined grained as you get close to it, its almost like a powder"
"Im going to step off the LM now"
then as i watched from the outside window with my suit on and the rest of the world from television screans he said the phrase that everyone in the world remembers him for saying
"Thats one small step for Man... One giant leap for Man kind"
The whole world cheered as he landed on the moon as i would latter call a "magnificent desolation"
about 20 mins latter i went outside to step on the moon and be the second man in history to do so.
i stepped foot on the moon and had a good feeling in my mind.
as i put my foot on the moon i joined Neil and planted the flag and got to talk to the president.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright ladies this is where your version of the story and my version cross very diffident paths . Now NASA will say to you that their was NO life on the moon. Their wrong. not only was their life she was able to communicate to us without speaking ans she understood English. The CM was on the dark side of the moon so we had no communication with earth only me and Neil were their "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Neil what is that blue shape out in the distance?"
"I don't see an- wait ... i see it .. and holy cow its moving! Are you seeing this Buzz?'
"Yes Neil do you think its alien?"
"Defiantly Buzz"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As she came over to us she was no human. she was a midnight blue pony about 6 Feet tall with a horn wings and a tiara plus her mane (or hair) was flowing like their was wind sparkling like the stars and twinkling.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Neil this is big we shold make Contact with this Alien"
" Agreed Buzz.. how are we going to do that though? .... Wait a minute did you bring that paper and pen? "
" Yes but how is that going to help Neil?"
"Buzz trust me write something quickly down its coming closer!!!!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as she came closer i quickly speed Hi on the piece of paper she walked up looked at us
she came right up to us looking at us with curiosity
i steeped froward she in return looked away and took a step backward
I held out my peace of paper to her with the pen she looked at the message that i wrote
it read
"Hi we come in peace for all mankind'
the note pad floated from my hand into some form of light like glowing telekinesis that was dark blue the same as here coat
She looked at the note pad with interest but still slightly in fear she took a step back
i was amazed that it looked like she was reading and it blew my mind when she actually wrote back on that same piece of paper
it read
"Hi I'm princess luna who are you?"
i read it back to Neil and told him that we had just made history not only are we the first human being on he moon but the first to discover intelligent life on another world and communicate
i wrote back
" I am Lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin and this is commander Neil Armstrong"
she seemed still scared and wrot back
" Are you Robots?"
i laughed a little and me and Neil both took off our golden visors so that she could see our faces living breathing faces.
" No princess we are living humans beings from the planet earth right behind us"
she sees our faces
she write back " I have been on the moon ever since my sister banned me to the moon about 921 years ago"
i respond by hugging here and writing " we can only be here for a coupe of minutes before we have to leave forever"
She returned the hug and then reads what i wrote
she then replies with puppy dog eyes and writes " can you please spend the last few minutes on this moon with me?"
i look at Neil who responds by nodding
we proceed to have fun jumping and exploring the moon we show her our ship and the plaque that we left their on the moon
we briefly explained humans and NASA and us being the first men on the moon
she told us a little bit about equestria on he home planet and how she is the goddess of the night and the moon that both earth and equestrian sky have
she showed us the best rocks and when it was time to go when Huston said that we have 10 mins of oxygen left
our last communication with princes Luna was this message me and Neil wrote
" Luna, Buzz and Neil have to go now to our home planet their should be more of us coming on the moon but they will be very spread out so be on the lookout"
her last message to mankind read " Buzz and Neil thank you for bringing me joy"
and with that we took a picture with me Neil and Luna on the moon along with her hoof steps
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright buzz its your first onto the LM" Huston said
"Roger copy mission control"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got in the LM
with Neil and waved as Luna watched us blast off to join Michele Collins in orbit
As i docked with the CM and got the hatch undone michel asked me one thing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How was it?"
I replied the only thing coming into my mind
"It is a magnificent Desolation"

flash forward present day
"That was an interesting story buzz" the nurse said
"Yes is and it is completely true" Buzz Aldrin said
Just them Princes Luna walked in startling the Nurse
" Leave us" Buzz said to the nurse
"Yes sir" the nurse said as she left to Get security
"Are you Buzz Aldrin?" she asked
"Why yes princes Luna i am" he said as he held out his hand for a shake
"Thank you for bringing me joy all those years ago i would ask if you come to my home planet with Your commander Neil."
"Um princes.... Neil ..... he died not to long ago" Buzz was on the verge of tears and Luna started to water up
Luna embraced buzz in a hug and then said "Buzz i'm sorry"
Buzz broke the hug and accepted her offer to go to equestria to explore another world
the nurse came back with Security stunned to see an Alien technicolor pony
Buzz asked "You guys want to here the real story of the landing on the moon?"
Luna's horn begun to glow and then in a flash of white light they were gone
Good story, a couple things. There are some issues with capitalization, punctuation, paragraphs, and the blacked out words... well should I be able to see something is I highlight them?
Not bad.
I gotta admit, that'd be a heckuva plot line. Luna makes friends with lunar lander crew....
Hot diggity.
Grate story made me tear up a bit. That would be something though.
Makes me wanna cry.....
But my body got dehygerated a long time ago so I can't.....
That was nice :-)
1972761>>1972784>>1973606>>1974697
thank you for this support i relay was not suspecting this much i have made great improvement from my first story which i'm gong to redo and make it better
1974767
I have tried to reformat the story a bit; can I send it to you via PM or should I throw it away?
It's a nice idea. My own head version of "Apollo 18" had them finding Luna and bringing her home. Cue complete chaos as the eggheads at NASA realise that the Moon has a gateway between our universe and the universe of ponies.
I liked this, but "Houston, We're Coming Home" was better.
If you would like to check it out, it is by EpicBG.
1972761
no it is not BB code its is just a symbol what you see is what you see their is no character after is it is just a block of ink (pretty sneaky bastard aren't i?)
█ is what you see would subsistence a word i would have to count the spaces for the word to make it seem legit like if i wanted to have princes lunas name blacked out it would do this
████████ ████
you get it?
1973725
aw that's to bad well next time you get hydrated you can cry if you want to
1975898
thanks i did i had no idea that their was a fic already out about this idea i thought i was the only one who thought of it
Awesome story, bro! Maan, I liked this story
1976460 thanks bro
That was sweet. I wonder if it really did happen that way?
1977087
hey the gorverment is going to get you with that kind of talk
1977132 The Shadow fears nothing.
That was awesome! The ending was sad.
We will always remember you Neil.
1977141[youtube=C-CG5w4YwOI]
oh relay?
This was awesome! I only wish it was longer so I could enjoy it more!
If I was buzz I would totally say that just to troll everyone.
1979058
1979058
but it actually happened
Bar a few errors, I really liked this. Worth a thumbs up and a fave.
Cool story, dig the concept.
...the implications for this universe are fascinating - whether they're parallel worlds that cross over via the moon or Equestria is a 'hidden land' similar to the lost continent of Mu, or even something a little more akin the the dreamtime.
The only problem I see with being an astronaut is living for decades afterward - what is ever going to compare to that? (Plus I'd much rather think of Buzz Aldrin in Equestria than the ME3-verse)
1993885 sorry but ME3-verse?
1993893 Mass-Effect 3 - I didn't play it either, but it's almost impossible to escape people talking about the ending
1993954
oh ok
1993965 It's funny how you use the ''█.'' Mah idea, mofo.
2063139
that was our idea
2063159 But I found the symbol
2063175
Neat!
You do realize the gold part is to prevent your eyes from being fried by radiation, right?
Ah well, who cares? This is fun anyway!
I'm crying hardly rn.
Hard to see the keys on the screen.
If possible can you make a sequel?
Maybe where Neil Armstrong returns from the dead and stays with Luna and buzz?
It would lighten my world.

aww man i’m sorry i wrote this so long ago and i dont have the creative juice to do something like that, but that doesn’t mean you cant write a sequel if you wanted to :) you have my premision

They could safely flip up their visors, if their faces in shadow. The gold blocks infrared. It has a polarized component too, exactly like sunglasses, which reduces glare and blocks UV.
The LM communicates directly with Earth.
