Fifty years ago during the summer of 1969 human-space flight reached, and humans walked on, the surface of the moon. The next year we scored the SECOND person to walk the lunar trail as UP commencement speaker. Not Neil Armstrong, but Buzz Aldrin spoke to the 1970 graduation class, commissioned the new AFROTC cadets, and left us inspired. Astronaut Edwin Aldrin served as Mission Specialist on the Apollo Eleven craft that landed on the moon 20 July 1969.
