> Yes, I am **Buzz Aldrin**. My (real, not honorary) doctorate from MIT is in astronautics, which involves physics, but is specific to space travel. My acting included voice acting on _The Simpsons_ and a cameo in the last \*Transformers \*movie.

And “Author, but not what I’m best known for” includes a very good SF novel (co-authored with John Barnes) called _Encounter with Tiber_.  
Q, eh?

1. Did you have a horse named Rocinante?
