    Other than being the second man to walk the moon, there's another achievement Aldrin can boast about - the famous photograph of Armstrong walking on the moon.

    Buzz Aldrin's claim to fame is being the second man to walk the moon. While Neil Armstong wears the crown of being the first, there's another achievement Aldrin can boast about - the famous photograph of Armstrong walking on the moon.

    The picture, probably among the most famous pictures of all time, was captured by Aldrin. And while that photograph is priceless, Aldrin's son Andy is not too happy about it.

    Aldrin explains, "My son (Andy) and I are both members of a long-standing diving group and Andy takes a lot of pictures above the water, as well as nice scenes underwater with sharks and a lot of pictures of me. He takes thousands of pictures! And he always says, "Dad, you don't take many pictures. You're always the subject. But you take that one photo on the moon and it becomes famous! It's unfair."

    And I always tell him, "Once you get it right, why would you try any other scene?".
