It was July 16, 1969 when three men named Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins created history and became the first humans to land on the moon. The three American astronauts took-off from Florida for the moon and the world has never looked back since.

It has been 54 years since that historic day. And Buzz Aldrin celebrated the anniversary of the Apollo 11 space mission in his own style.

Aldrin took to Twitter to share a picture of himself while celebrating the anniversary. He marked the occasion on a scrumptious note and ate steak, eggs and some avocado at his home. #Apollo11 launch day, 54th anniversary. Steak and eggs today celebrating in style at home with my Anca,” he wrote in the caption of the post. Interestingly, he was wearing three watches in the picture.

My father was also stationed in South Korea (Army Air Assault later transitioned to AF) and he was a huge admirer of your contributions. He bought me my first telescope to dream off into the heavens…a telescope I’ve passed on to my boys. What an amazing ability to be able to Thank You directly! To the moon!”
