He maybe the second man to walk on the moon, but Lois Driggs Cannon is the third woman to be stripped of the title Mrs. Buzz Aldrin.

Buzz officially filed for a divorce yesterday, stating that the couple separated two days ago and cites "irreconcilable differences" as the cause. The two have been married since Valentine's Day 1988.

Sad! He's kind of old to be dating again, but if he decides he's ready, the ladies will surely line up their walkers to be wife #4!

Such an unbelievable inspiration!

After making a miraculous recovery following a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head more than three months ago, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has been officially cleared by her doctors to travel to Cape Canaveral, FL to attend her husband Mark Kelly's space shuttle launch this Friday!

According to Kelly, who is serving as the commander of the shuttle, The Endeavor:

"I've met with her doctors, her neurosurgeon and her doctors, and…they've given us permission to take her down to the launch."

Wonderful! This must be such a huge step forward for her!

We couldn't be more thrilled!

Good vibes, gurl! And have a wonderful and SAFE trip!

We're rooting for you!

Now that's a birthday gift!

Katy Perry surprised fiance Russell Brand with a £100,000 trip into space for his big 35th birthday!

A source says:

"Russell thought it was just him and Katy going for dinner. He was bowled over when he walked into the restaurant and saw she had got all his pals and family together for a surprise party.

"Halfway through the dinner she walked in wearing a full astronaut outfit to give Russell the space trip. Everyone cheered for the Brit cake. Katy knows how proud he is of his roots."

The trip includes boarding a spaceship and going 50,000 feet into the air where he will experience total weightlessness at the edge of the atmosphere! Sounds intense — right up Russell's alley!

Happy Birthday, Russell!

Astronauts want to be fashionable too, ya'll!

Before launching into space, female Japanese astronaut Naoko Yamazaki had designer Tae Ashida create her wardrobe for the 13 day mission.

Seriously?

Ashida came up with a light blue cardigan and navy blue shorts.

How…boring.

The designer explains her choice of design saying:

"As a female designer, I chose a design and colour with a sense of grace … so that she can feel at ease as she carries out a tough mission in a male-dominated, bleak atmosphere. It's like a dream come true to see my clothes worn in space. I'm looking forward to seeing her wear my design."

It is quite the accomplishment, even though it seems a little unnecessary.

Thoughts???
