    “Happy Birthday, Mr. Aldrin!”
    I wonder if he will read this because I could not figure out how to do it on the actual website…

    Oh, I found out that the website is not accepting any more birthday wishes for Buzz Aldrin. I recently did a school report about Neil Armstrong. Of course I could not write it without mentioning Buzz Aldrin…
