Space Force names Buzz Aldrin Brigadier General

When we think of space exploration, one name always stands out: Buzz Aldrin. Aldrin was the second human to touch the moon. These days, you can call him Brigadier General Aldrin, as the United States Space Force has named him an honorary Guardian. It's no surprise, really. Aldrin has been a key figure in space history, bringing invaluable experience and knowledge to the newest branch of our military.
Aldrin's involvement in the USSF is more than just an honorary title. As a seasoned astronaut and veteran, he contributes a wealth of expertise to developing and implementing space-based defense strategies. The USSF, established in December 2019, is the sixth branch of the United States military. Guardians defend America's interests in space, ensuring that our military can access and control critical space-based assets. Now, Aldrin will have a hand in that, too.
