![“I expected the unexpected and went [on the Moon] with an open mind. I think the visual scene was described by my words on first landing - "magnificent desolation." Magnificent for the achievement of being there, and desolate for the eons of lifelessness.” quote by Buzz Aldrin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5ef/buzz-aldrin-954_achievement_i-expected-the-unexpected-and-went-on-th_304425.jpg)
