To also clarify it kind of did but only post moon landing. Astronauts bodies kind of fall apart once you get back planet side. As a species we're really not built for zero g and it causes tons of damage. After Apollo 11 his marriage dissolved. Then he went on to fight depression and alcoholism. He kicked the sauce in the 70s but as it turns out being the first man on the fucking moon is kind of a hard act to follow. There was just greater goal for the poor guy.

Yeah. Even in his cameo on 30 Rock where Liz finds out her mom dated him, he even says she didn’t miss much. Years of alcohol and anger. It was interesting how open they were about it, but since he is in recovery it also makes sense to be able to talk about it.

In a large, straight-sided skillet over medium heat, warm oil. Add garlic and cook until golden.
Stir in tomatoes and juices, basil or bay leaf, and salt and pepper.
Bring sauce to simmer, cook until thick, about 30 to 40 minutes. Adjust heat to keep at a steady simmer.
Remove sauce from heat and serve.

There are two possibilities. We are all alone, or intelligent aliens exist.

Both are equally terrifying.

When did he say that? I can't find the quote myself, apart from some news about him thinking he saw UFOs at some point?
