Buzz Aldrin's facial expression during Trump's speech on space exploration has gone viral.
Most people tend to have a neutral expression while standing with someone giving a speech. Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon, is not among them.
As President Trump spoke prior to signing a space-related executive order on Friday, Aldrin seemed baffled at times.
His apparently confused expression was at its peak when Trump said, "Our travels beyond the Earth propel scientific discoveries that improve our lives in countless ways here, right here, at home...providing the space security we need to protect the American people. And security is going to be a very big factor with respect to space and space exploration. At some point in the future, we’re going to look back and say how did we do it without space?"
Social media users took notice. A Twitter user commented, "That's two small hands for man. One giant leap back for mankind."
Another said, "Best part is they were prepared notes. Imagine if he'd gone off script."
Someone else speculated what Aldrin was thinking at the time, "Houston, we have a problem."
Another cryptic moment from the Friday event is being widely talked about on social media.
While Trump was signing the order to reactivate the National Space Council, Aldrin said, "Infinity and beyond."
The president responded, "This is infinity here. It could be infinity. We don’t really don’t know. But it could be. It has to be something -- but it could be infinity, right?"
