Buzz Aldrin claimed USD 33.31 in travel expenses for a journey from Houston to the Moon and back, according to a Twitter post by the Apollo 11 astronaut who became the second person to walk on the lunar surface in 1969.


Aldrin, now 85, made the first lunar landing in 1969 and has tweeted his official travel voucher and customs forms for the moon rock he brought back.


The 'travel voucher' for his trip to space shows that Aldrin claimed USD 33.31 for a journey from Houston, Texas, to the Moon and back, 'The Guardian' reported.


The voucher itemises each detail of Aldrin's travel arrangements, with a 'government spacecraft' noted among government aircraft and automobiles used on the trip. "Government meals and quarters furnished for all above dates," the voucher states. It is believed the expenses claimed reflect car travel between various airports on the trip.
