Didn't he punch someone who said the moon landing was fake? Or is that something I dreamed up?

Strictly speaking, Aldrin punched the lunatic because he wouldn't stop harassing him in the street, even though multiple people tried to intervene. I can't imagine Aldrin cared too much about the guy's conspiracy theories.

Perhaps in contrast, First Man (the book) relates that Armstrong hid in a college bathroom when some autograph seekers came by the college where he taught.
