Banana 859 Posted March 22, 2021 3 hours ago, En Passant said: I understand the sentiment and personally concur. However, it's far too open to arguments about how one defines 'capable of making the deathlist', since nobody ever agrees about that in the first place. 'On' the deathlist is of course already in place. I personally don't think this applies to the world's most famous living astronaut. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Putin 423 Posted April 29, 2021 So now that Collins is dead, Aldrin is now the only one still alive of the crew to Apollo 11. So I think he should be in the 2022 list and forward if he is still around when the year ends, so we can have at least one of the Apollo 11 astronauts pn the list Imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aldrin's health is not good. Mental illness disorders... depression... addiction. Buzz believed he inherited depression from his family. Aldrin's mental health struggles led to deeper problems with heavy drinking and alcoholism. And... In 2016, he was visiting Antarctica as part of a tourist group when he was evacuated out of the South Pole for his condition deteriorated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,340 Posted April 29, 2021 Aldrin seems in very good health for 91 from what I can see.Yes he had issues of addiction and mental illness but he has been sober for many years and depression whilst horrible won`t necessarily increase likelihood of death.That being said Aldrin will be 92 next year and at that age, things can change quickly.For now though I think he is doing quite well still.

Deathrace 1,171 Posted January 21, 2023 He does look good for a 93 year old who is a recovered alcoholic (an achievement in itself). Lets hope Buzz's shuttle can still clear the tower. 1 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathrace 1,171 Posted January 21, 2023 Out of interest, at 93 he must be one of oldest global celebrities to ever get married? Struggling to think of anyone older to tie the knot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
