How many years did Buzz Aldrin study to get to go to the moon?

Answer 1

Armstrong flew 78 missions over Korea for a total of 121 hours in the air over three years of service, received a Bachelors degree in Science from Purdue University after eight semesters and was awarded a Masters in Science in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California. After Purdue and before USC, Armstrong flew as a test pilot for the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in Cleveland, Ohio and then at Edwards Air Force Base. Afterwards he was selected for the U.S. Air Force's Man in Space Soonest program which led him shortly thereafter to be asked into the NASA Astronaut Corps as one of the first Civilian pilots. He served in the Gemini program and later in the Apollo program. Overall this covers a time period from around 1950 to 1969. So around 19-20 years.
