Get well soon dude.
As his age on the South Pole. Damm. I hope I have 1/100 that level of piss and vinegar when I'm his age.
What a life.
He is only 86..

At 86, having been to the moon, WTH is he doing at 7K feet and sub-zero temps? Bucket list or death wish? Wonder who paid for that USAF transport to med-evac him to NZ? Never mind. Think I know. Kudos to Buzz for having the cajones to attempt this, but at 86, really kind of dumb. :(

Not dumb at all. The same personal grit that planted him on the moon using 1969 technology. I doubt he cares about a cough. A true modern space-age pioneer.

Do anyone really think they have "buzz"er beaters at the South Pole? I seriously doubt it.

Au contraire, Pierre! In '69, moon-walkie time - he was 39 and likely in far better health than now at 86, else he wouldn't have gotten green-lighted to the moon in '69. Personal grit had zip to do with it. It was NASA's call, not Buzz'. If he was troubled by a simple cough at the NP, he would still be at the NP and not in NZ. Granted, he is indeed a space-age pioneer, but still a little dumb.

Pretty Amazing!
Just think how it must be to WALK ON THE MOON
- and then...well, find something...anything to do next.
I sure am glad I eventually became a late bloomer...eventually.
wow

Whoever paid for it, this is a man that earned any special treatment he got. If we can pay $7 million a day just to operate our latest Aircraft Carrier, we can certainly foot the bill to rescue one of our national treasures from Antarctica during a moment of over-ambition.

Let's get our Bering Strait. I heard he has put-in for the Mars Colonization Program. He just might make it.
