Magnificent communication: Buzz Aldrin tests Verizon satellite service in new ad

As someone who is no stranger to comm dropouts on a planetary scale, Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin has teamed up with Verizon to help promote the company's satellite-based solution to cell service "dead zones."

The now 95-year-old astronaut, who in 1969 became one of the first humans to step foot on the lunar surface, appears in a new Verizon ad alongside Paul Marcarelli, the original "Can you hear me now?" Test Man to ask, "Can you text me now?"
