Buzz Aldrin has been married and divorced three times prior. He is the only surviving member of the Apollo 11 mission's three-man crew. While Neil Armstrong was the first astronaut to step on the lunar surface, he was followed 19 minutes later by Mr Aldrin. 

The former astronaut retired from NASA in 1971 and in 1998 founded the ShareSpace Foundation, a non-profit organisation to promote the expansion of crewed space exploration.
