Aldrin to Obama: Be a ‘dreamer’ and put a man on Mars

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin sees a new Space Age on the horizon and wants President Barack Obama to share his vision.

Aldrin hopes that Obama “will be the dreamer” to preside over the first manned mission to Mars. He tweeted Thursday:

39 yrs ago our Pres was a dreamer who sent us to the moon. I hope our new Pres will be the dreamer to send us to Mars. Yes we can Yes we can

I mean 49 yrs ago-hard to type on my iPhone. I thought of this bcuz Roger Hodgson of Super Tramp did the song Dreamers in St Tropez lst nite

President John F. Kennedy first called for America to put a man on the moon but President Richard Nixon was in office by the time the Apollo 11 astronauts completed their lunar landing.
