After being shared on social media, the post has gone viral and is currently prompting thousands of reactions from users. Among the many comments and replies, Twitter users also noticed that the customs form included a section where the three renowned astronauts would be checked and tested for any ailments that they might have brought back with them.

It was shared as a tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and was verified by NASA. After being shared on the official page, NASA spokesperson John Yembrick said, “Yes, it’s authentic.” He also clarified saying that it was a little joke at that time. https://www.hindustantimes.com/trending/buzz-aldrin-recalls-when-he-had-to-go-through-customs-after-returning-from-moon-101627536141029.html
