Astronaut, Apollo 11 lunar module pilot
Buzz Aldrin
The second person to walk on the Moon, in July 1969, and the author of a doctoral thesis on orbital rendezvous that the mission relied on. Born in Glen Ridge, New Jersey.
Buzz Aldrin is an American former astronaut, aeronautical engineer, and fighter pilot. He was the second person to walk on the Moon after mission commander Neil Armstrong. He made three spacewalks as pilot of NASA’s 1966 Gemini 12 mission, and was the Lunar Module Eagle pilot on the 1969 Apollo 11 mission. Following the deaths of Armstrong in 2012 and pilot Michael Collins in 2021, Aldrin is the last surviving Apollo 11 crew member, and the oldest living astronaut.

Buzz Aldrin is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
