Buzz Aldrin official NASA portrait, 1969

Buzz Aldrin in his official 1969 NASA portrait. Biographical identification only—not a photograph of his 2016 Antarctic visit or evacuation, and not evidence that he issued the alleged warning.

NASA / Johnson Space Center, S 69-31743, 1969. Proportionally resized from the original NASA scan.

Authentic alternative to the uncleared Antarctic-visit images. Exact 2016 tourist and medical-evacuation photography remains held. This is a 1969 portrait, not a 2016 Antarctic scene, a medical diagnosis or an endorsement.
