All the 'Buzz'

All the 'Buzz'

Buzz Aldrin on the moon

In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin made history as the first people on the moon. Weekly Reader (WR) spoke to Buzz Aldrin about NASA's planned return to the moon, a future on Mars, and his children's book, Reaching for the Moon, which was featured at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.

WR: What does it feel like to walk on the moon?

Aldrin: You knew that you were there, but it was unreal at the same time. It's so different and

unusual that it's almost dreamlike.

WR: What was the most memorable part of walking on the moon?

All the 'Buzz'

Aldrin: There are two moments that are not recorded on film. They're recorded in my mind.

One was just the second or two after we shut the engine down and we realized that the

spacecraft was on the moon. That really was the major achievement. When I was outside

seeing the Earth, my other thought was that there were only three human beings who were

not on Earth. [The third was Michael Collins, who was orbiting the moon in a craft that would

take the astronauts back to Earth.]

WR: Your children's book is about following your dreams. Did you dream of being an

astronaut?

Aldrin: Well, there wasn't any such thing as an astronaut until about 1958 or 1959. Sputnik

[the Soviet space satellite] didn't go up until 1957, so thinking of human beings in space was

not at all common.

WR: Will returning to the moon have the same impact as it did when you and Mr.

Armstrong first set foot on the moon?

Aldrin: No, I don't think there is any way you can replace that competitiveness [to reach the

moon first] that existed, that pioneering spirit. The moon is a proving ground in our backyard.

We've been there before, but it's preparing us to visit another planet.

WR: You've been a supporter of a piloted mission to Mars. Why do you think it's so

important that we send humans to Mars?

Aldrin: Now we can send robots to Mars, but that just wouldn't satisfy the human desire to

want to expand our horizons. We've always done that. I can't answer by saying that there is

going to be something profitable that will be returned from Mars, other than perhaps

storytelling or making movies en route.

WR: Your sister gave you the name "Buzzer" when you were young-and then it got

shortened to Buzz. And that stuck?

Aldrin: It certainly did. It made it very recognizable and unique.

Go Outside and Play!

Go Outside and Play!by Jennifer Kroll

Photos.com

Spending time outside can be a real kick for your health.

Think about how much time you spent outside last

week. Really "outside." Walking from the car into the

mall doesn't count. Now think about how much time

you spent indoors-on the Internet or playing video

games or watching TV.

"I play inside more than outside," says Casey M., of

South Bend, Indiana. "I like to play games on the

computer."

If you're like Casey and many other people, it's likely

that you spent more time inside four walls than

outside in fresh air. Kids spent two fewer hours per

week on sports and outdoor activities in the early

2000s than kids did in the early 1980s. That's

according to a University of Michigan study. Sedentary (nonmoving) activities are more

popular. Most people in the study reported spending most of their free time watching TV (85

percent) or playing computer games (81 percent). The costs "include obesity, greater stress,

higher rates of physical and emotional illnesses-and less joy in being alive and aware," says

Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit

Disorder.

Find Your PlaceAre you staying inside because you need a place to go? Former open spaces have been filled

in with buildings. All kinds of areas are off-limits to tweens and teens. "It wasn't that long ago

that kids were free to roam sidewalks, streets, alleys, vacant lots, city parks," says Rhonda

Clements. She's a professor of physical education at Manhattanville College in New York.

"Students still need to have that place where they are free to go and meet friends."

Even when space is available, personal safety is an issue. "I wish I could play outside more,"

says Angela P., of New Haven, Connecticut. "I live in an apartment. There's a park down the



street, but my mom doesn't think it's safe to go there by ourselves."

Rae Pica, an activity specialist, says she knows that "many kids are home alone in the

afternoons and have been [told] not to leave the house."

So what's a person to do? One answer is to make sure an adult knows how to find you. A cell

phone can help. Another idea is to get an adult involved. "Rely on your neighborhood and

maybe on one or two parents to get to a local park where there is ample space," says

Clements. Most communities have organized activities and supervised recreation spaces that

offer parents peace of mind.

The Great OutdoorsThere's no doubt about it-heading outdoors is good for you. So what can you do out there?

· Explore. Take a friend along, and check out your environment on foot. Just make sure a

responsible adult knows where you are.

· Get on wheels. Cycling, in-line skating, and skateboarding are fun ways of enjoying the

fresh air. Be sure to strap on safety gear when you get on wheels.

· Be artistic. Grab a camera, and take photos outside. Or use sidewalk chalk to create

colorful works of art. Pick up sticks to create boxes, sculptures, and frames.

· Spy on wildlife. What lives nearby? Search for signs of your many-legged or winged

neighbors.

· Recapture your childhood. Remember what it was like to climb around on a jungle

gym or swing or play Four Square? Why should little kids have all the fun? Revisit

games you enjoyed as a little kid-playing games is a great way to relieve stress!

· Play with toys. You might find that your Frisbee-throwing, kite-flying, and Hacky Sack-

kicking skills improve as you get older and more coordinated.

· Join the club. If you are with a group of people, "your parents won't worry as much

about safety," says author Richard Louv. You're also likely to make new friends.

Possibilities might include a Scout organization, YMCA, 4-H, or sports club or team.

Many communities offer outdoor programs too.

· Just hang out. Chat with friends, kick around a ball, whatever you feel like doing-hey,

it's your outdoors!



Why Play? Why Outside?"I do soccer, so I'm outside a lot," says Jacob C. of Nashua, New Hampshire. "Sometimes,

though, I wish I had more time to play outside."

Playing is important, even for adults. Goofing around relieves stress and lets us feel free and

creative. And playing outside is especially good. Just being exposed to the great outdoors

does wonders. "Outside light is ... vital to the immune system and simply makes us feel

happier," Pica says.

Here are four great reasons to get outside and play.

1. Outdoor activity expands your senses. Try this: If you have a computer, the next time

you sit down to use it, take note of your senses during and after your session. Then take note

of your senses after you've done something outside. Which makes you feel better?

Being outdoors brings the senses to life. In fact, 75 percent of students polled by Weekly

Reader said they felt better after spending time outside. "Hiking, exploring, and fishing help

hone all of your senses," says Betsy Keller. She's a professor of exercise and sports sciences

at Ithaca College in New York. "Smell, sight ... [they're] all engaged when you're outside."

Bonus! With your senses engaged, you'll feel free and more creative. Clements reports that in

a park near her home, young people turned a concrete slab into their own outdoor theater.

2. Playing outside helps your body. Want to get fit? Go outside! "The outdoors is the best

place for [you] to practice and master physical skills and to experience the pure joy of

movement," says Pica.

You've probably heard teachers and others tell you that getting 30 minutes of exercise a day

or walking 10,000 steps helps you stay fit. "We've emphasized physical activity levels and not

focused on the fun aspect," Keller admits. But if you're having fun, you're more likely to stick

with it, and being outside offers special fun and fitness. When playing outside, says Keller,

"the terrain varies. You can be on stairs, hills, walls, play equipment. It challenges your

balance, coordination, and stamina. Playing on a flat floor doesn't always do that."

Time spent outdoors pays off later too. It helps keep your body's clock on track so that you

sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day.

3. Outdoor play eases your mind. Are you stressed out? Having trouble concentrating? Too

much time indoors-away from the natural world-may be a cause. Louv uses a term to ReadWorks.org

Copyright © 2009 Weekly Reader Corporation. All rights reserved. Used by permission.Weekly Reader is a registered trademark of Weekly Reader Corporation.


describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature-deficit disorder. "I use

it not as a medical diagnosis," he says. "I use it to describe the price we pay for being so

separated from nature."

Exposure to nature has been shown to lower stress levels and ease symptoms of attention

deficit disorder. "By comparison," says Louv, "activities indoors, such as watching TV, or

activities in paved, non-green areas leave kids [with ADD symptoms] worse off."

4. Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves

crackle underfoot and breathing in fresh air build awareness and appreciation of the

environment. If you walk through the woods in search of cool birds and plants, you may find

your mind expanding.

No woods nearby? You don't need a huge park to enjoy nature's benefits. Nature can be as

close as your own backyard or that clump of trees at the end of the street. There are bits of

nature everywhere-even in cities. "Some naturalists call that 'nearby nature,'" Louv says.

"It's a great way to experience a piece of the natural world without wandering too far from

home."

So the next time you sit down to spend quality time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a

little outdoor play instead. It's not called the great outdoors for nothing.
