The second man to step foot on the moon, Buzz Aldrin, took some time away from celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11's mission to explain his ambitions for space exploration on "Washington Unplugged."

"It is time to move on back into exploration. And I think now, with the new administration we are wisely re-evaluating the path," Aldrin told moderator Bob Orr.

Aldrin told Orr that he never felt like a hero during his 1969 mission rather "we felt like very fortunate people being given the opportunity to be responsible, alert and to carry out our task...enjoying what we were doing but also paying very close attention to our once in a lifetime opportunity that just came along."

The Satellite Media Tour was pitched and produced by WOW! for Kennedy Space Center at the Saturn V Center.
