Dear Buzz Aldrin
Pow! Straight to the Moon!
On September 9, 2002, Bart Sibrel, an obnoxious science-denier who claims NASA faked the Apollo Moon missions, jumped out at Buzz Aldrin with a Bible, aggressively daring him to swear on it. Buzz told Mr. Sibrel to go away repeatedly, and even asked for the police. When Sibrel refused to back off, Buzz clocked him (video). Well, I had to tell Buzz I supported him.

Subject: Should Have Hit Him Harder
Mr. Aldrin:
I just read about you altercation with Sibrel yesterday.
And all I have to say is you should have hit him harder.
Respectfully Yours,
- Matthew Smith
I tried to see the world through Sibrel eyes with little success.
