The president of Buzz Aldrin Ventures has decided to say yes to Anca Faur, the 63-year-old vice president of the same company. According to their LinkedIn profile, she was treasurer of a hydrogen and fuel cell lobby, the California Hydrogen Business Council, and worked for chemical companies Union Carbide and Johnson Matthey after earning her PhD in chemical engineering in 1996.
After the death of Michael Collins in April 2021, Buzz Aldrin became the last survivor of the famous Apollo 11 mission. The latter, which took place on July 20, 1969, made him and Neil Armstrong the first humans to set foot on the moon.
