According to History.com, Beverly Hills police investigated the altercation but ultimately decided not to press charges against Aldrin, with Sibrel being called the instigator.
In the years since the ‘punch heard around the world,’ Aldrin has continued to be a tireless advocate for space exploration and scientific education.
In 2019, amid the Moon landing’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, Fox News asked the astronaut what he thinks about those who doubt the historical event.
Aldrin replied: “I don’t pay any attention to them, really. They’re out for themselves to make a name.”
