It is a common adage that those who finish second are rarely remembered in the long term. For instance, everyone knows that on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon. Who was the second, though? The name might be forgotten. Buzz Aldrin, though, is an exception to that rule. To become the first people to set foot on the moon, Aldrin and Armstrong took their first steps outside the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle. The retired astronaut is now 93 years old and recently married for the fourth time!
In 1971, Buzz Aldrin left NASA after spending 289 hours and 53 minutes in space. Before this marriage, Aldrin was married three times: to Joan Archer (1954–1974), Beverly Van Zile (1975–1978), and Lois Driggs Cannon (m. 1988–2012). After a decade, he finally married Dr. Anca Faur, his lifelong girlfriend, who is 63 years old. The two have a personal relationship in addition to their romantic one. The executive vice president of Buzz Aldrin Ventures LLC is also identified as Faur.
Buzz Aldrin weds for the FOURTH time.
He posted a moving message on Twitter. He writes, “I am thrilled to report that my lifelong love Dr. Anca Faur and I have tied the married on my 93rd birthday and the day I will also be honored by Living Legends of Aviation. In a tiny, private ceremony in Los Angeles, we were united in holy matrimony, and we are over the moon.
Additionally, thanking his supporter Dr. Buzz Aldrin. “Thank you for all the Happy Birthday messages and sincere good wishes,” he wrote. It means a lot, and I hope to keep working for a better cause for many more solar revolutions!
Best wishes to each one of you as well!
Anca Faur: Who is she?
There isn’t a lot of information accessible about Faur personally. She was born on May 14, 1959, though. Faur earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and Catalysis from the University of Pittsburgh in 1996. She spent the first three years of her career with Union Carbide as a project leader.
She has been Executive Vice President at Buzz Aldrin Ventures LLC since 2019. Also, a member of the Johnson Matthey Fuel Cellsboard is Faur. She also attended the 70th International Astronautical Congress of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and is a member of the California Hydrogen Business Council.
Buzz Aldrin’s fourth marriage sparks reactions on the Internet
The Internet was shocked by the development. While some of his supporters were overjoyed by the news, others were troubled by the age difference. There’s undoubtedly a pun about a honeymoon to be made here, but I’m not intelligent enough to see it, one user commented. So, congratulations!
Commenter: Congratulations! You had to be ecstatic!
Someone remarked: You must be ecstatic! But in all seriousness, Sir, congrats to you both.
Users on the opposing side of the Internet quickly pointed out the couple’s age difference. Buzz, I admire you, and I’m sure you’re happy, but someone said she’s a gold digger. Sorry
Another user commented: Probably they both realize what they have to offer and have come to some understanding.
One great leap for Viagra, a user joked.
