Au contraire, Pierre! In '69, moon-walkie time - he was 39 and likely in far better health than now at 86, else he wouldn't have gotten green-lighted to the moon in '69. Personal grit had zip to do with it. It was NASA's call, not Buzz'. If he was troubled by a simple cough at the NP, he would still be at the NP and not in NZ. Granted, he is indeed a space-age pioneer, but still a little dumb.
