I didn't notice the spelling on the screen, so maybe the show made a mistake, but everyone who was alive in July of 1969 knows it's "Aldrin".

It's further in the past now than WWII was when they stepped on the moon that night.

Buzz Aldrin was on the show once, remember? He flew on the space shuttle with Homer. They flew with Brace Banyon, that guy who was supposed to be based on "Race Bannon" from Johnny Quest.

Also Gordon Sumner (Sting), and for some reason, Jerry Seinfeld.

Also, during the scene when Homer and Moe were mating the bees, "Sea of Love" played, by (appropriately) The Honeydrippers, featuring lead singer Robert Plant..
