Over at BoingBoingTV, Xeni Jardin has a great interview with astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who is never shy about sharing is opinions about what's wrong with the U.S. space program. Here he talks about how entrepreneurs should take over the moon, and why space travel is synonymous with freedom. Video below.

I wish there weren't those reaction shots of the guy making fun of Buzz, though — yeah, the dude is kind of a nut, but he's a visionary nut who isn't entirely off the mark. I'm still down with the Buzz program, though I'd like to establish a socialist orgy camp on the moon instead of giving it to entrepreneurs.
