Could it be that 'Buzz' just either likes the attention, or is making a living/augmenting his income from it?

I like Buzz, and I 'm glad he's trying to get people excited in human space exploration -- but he doesn't necessarily have any additional knowledge about this object on Phobos that we on the internet do not have.

he doesn't say it was fabricated by intelligent beings or life of any kind.
That's the thing... he never mentions something other than "the Universe" or "God" but he does ask "who put it there?" as if it should be a question for humanity.
In the end, as I watch this, it occurs to me this is in the vein of getting people excited about space exploration in general. So maybe this is a phantasm of a carrot if you catch my drift.
But then I still go back to that part that says "When people find out about that..."
How come we haven't found out about that yet? I mean if Buzz knows... how come we don't?

Im sure he has a few more friends in higher places within NASA than we give him credit for.

How do you know that?
The arrogance of some of you people is astounding. You must think you know it all with your internet connections, huh?

I'm not attacking you here, however, I have to ask this question. Why on earth would a highly educated, aged, experienced, and gifted astronaut/pilot decide to lie or tarnish his name on national television? Sure, he may be attempting to spruce up the public's interest in space exploration, but, I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT HE HAS FABRICATED SOMETHING FOR THE SAKE OF CREATING ATTENTION.

Once again, Buzz under Booze was.
Stop dreaming about Arthur C. Clarke's blasphemies and please take your pills, Buzzy.
Here is yet another member who is putting Buzz Aldrin's credibility into question.
It amazes me that someone can be highly educated, highly decorated, very experienced, and has done more than most of us combined and yet, some joe from the styx feels that he somehow has eclipsed what Buzz has accomplished with an ignorant statement brewed within their own cynically developed, ignorantly motivated, self-made and self-contained box of reality.
The day you walk on the moon is the day that you can pass judgment on Buzz Aldrin. Until then, maybe you should consider taking YOUR regular meds, because you're definitely off kilter.

Buzz would have long since been retired when they discovered this object, so why in the heck would he have been informed about a "need to know only" top secret object?
Buzz was just trying create some mystery about space exploration and went a little over board in so doing.

Why would a science adviser for a company trying to develop anti-grav, or the CEO of a company making rocket motors have secret inside information regarding an alien-built object on Phobos?

So now you attack Buzz Aldrin's credibility? You know you debunkers are a sad joke. It's all fine and dandy for you guys to call us 'believers' nut cases, but when someone has been out there like Ed Mitchell and Buzz Aldrin start to say things that you don't like to hear, out come the character assassinations
