His mother's maiden name was Moon.
He recorded a rap song called "The Rocket Experience" in 2009, which you can view here.
Aldrin, a Presbyterian, received Communion on the moon, but did it secretly because of a lawsuit brought my Madalyn Murray O'Hair over the reading of Genesis on Apollo 8.
He appeared on Celebrity Jeopardy! in 1996.
He is the model for the "moonman" that sits atop the MTV Music Award statuettes.
And my personal favorite: He punched filmmaker Bart Sibrel in the face in 2002 after Sibrel accused Aldrin and NASA of faking the moon landing, calling Aldrin "a coward, a liar, and a thief".
