As the world mourns the passing of the person it believed was it’s one and only ‘moonwalker,’ we’re here to tell you the real ‘moonwalker’ is still very much alive and kicking.

Yes, Michael Jackson may have moonwalked across many stages but the real moonewalker, Buzz Aldrin has shown us all that he may not be able to make giant leaps but he can still take those small steps as he appeared in a spoof video last week with Snoop Dogg and Soulja Boy.

In less than a month, we will be celebrating Neil Armstrong’s “one giant leap for mankind”, when he was the first man on the moon on July 20, 1969. But it’s his partner on that Apollo 11 space mission who has been in the news in some unusual ways.

The 79, year old astronaut released his rap single, Rocket Experience, last week and told USA Today, ‘I’m not too good at carrying a tune, but I do have rhythm.‘ The rocket man went on to tell the newspaper, that the money from the song’s iTunes sales will go to Aldrin’s ShareSpace Foundation, which promotes science and exploration, “I want kids interested in space. It’s their future.’

The single coincided with the debut of a new Aldrin autobiography, “Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home From the Moon.”

There is a clip that celebrates the 40th anniversary of Aldrin’s walk on the moon, but it’s not all fun and games even if the idea of Aldrin rapping is pretty funny, Aldrin’s main focus is trying to get young people involved in science and the mysteries of space exploration.
