Astronaut, Buzz Aldrin will participate on Dancing With the Stars 10th season. Buzz Aldrin, also known as the second man on the moon, is a former NASA’s astronaut that will compete with a Baywatch Star, Pamela Anderson, and a gold medal figure skater, Evan Lysacek on the 10th season of Dancing With the Stars. It is a TV’s reality show that partners celebrities with professional dancers to win a trophy.

Although he will be the oldest contestant to appear on the show, it will be interesting to watch the former U.S. Air Force dancing with a professional dancer. It will be a challenge to reach the heights achieved when he completed 66 combat missions and received numerous awards such as the Presidential Medal for Freedom, the Harmon International Trophy, etc. ABC will broadcast his dancing performance on Monday, March 22nd. Other participants such as sportscaster Erin Andrews, singer Nicole Scherzinger, football star Chad Ochocinco and actors Shannen Doherty, Aiden Turner and Niecy Nash, can become his next target to beat as if he was doing a mission in a war. http://buzzaldrin.com/watch-buzz-on-dancing-with-the-stars/ http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/31491377/
