  What an amateur. Larry King had twice as many by the time he was 65.
context: Everytime I see stories about him I reember his episode on 30 Rock which ended with him and Tina yelling  at the moon:
  ‘I walked on your FACE!’ >
  
  I think of him clocking that moon landing denier in the face >
  
  That moon landing denier was asking to be punched.  I mean when you go up to a person and tell them that the greatest achievement of their life was a fraud, a punch in the face is the minimum of what you should expect to receive. >
  
  The denier was also very aggressive, up in his face and wouldn’t let him by. It’s was deemed self defense and justified. I love watching that video every so often. Fine if you want to think it was fake, but don’t harass people. >
  
  No I'm pretty sure the video of him punching the guy is real >
  
  ah, the ol' Reddit fist-a-roo! >
  
  How deep does this link go?? I just wanted to read more about Buzz’s new wife, and now I’ve gone into a bunch of Reddit warp zones 😵‍💫 >
  
  The part you want to know:
  
  Dr Faur, 63, who has a PhD in chemical engineering, is the executive vice president of Mr Aldrin's company, Buzz Aldrin Ventures.
  
  Good for them both >
  
  
  let’s all enjoy that moment again
  
  And Buzz Aldrin has a PhD as well, so he's Dr. Aldrin. >
  
  Buzz Aldrin's doctorate is a ScD. Not a PhD. Not a big difference. Both are doctorate level degrees. >
  
  Anyone with a doctorate in any field can be called doctor. Most don't outside of the usual expectations. Those that do typically have a decent reason. Some are pretentious twats who make their middle school students address them as doctor. >
  
  I'm a medical doctor. As my dad (also a doctor) liked to say repeatedly, we're not doctors because we don't have a doctorate, we should be called medical practitioners.
  I just never mention it except for when I hope to score an airline upgrade.
  (Did get the call is there a doctor on the flight once but they looked at me when I arrived and repeated the question to make sure I understood it. Then they went with someone else who more looked the part, ironically much more like a university academic as it happens.) >
  
  Just become a surgical fellow under the British Royal college of surgeons and you can go back to being Mister/Miss all over again. >
  
  “I like long walks on the moon” slays on a Tinder profile. >
  
  "But I hope my leg don't break" >
  
  “…walking on the moon.” >
  
  Aldrin does not look bad at all for 93. >
  
  It’s all that lunar regolith. Great exfoliant, wonderful for the skin! >
  
  Buzz wrote his senior college research project on how fighter pilots should overtake enemy aircraft, based on his Korean War dogfighting experience.  The trajectories and such became the basis for the Project Gemini docking maneuvers.  All of those guys were pretty damn smart. >
  
  Is that paper available to read!?
