The second person to walk on the moon said that setting up habitation on the surface of the red planet was a "wonderful objective" for humanity.

Given the backdrop of the ailing world economy, space exploration could offer younger generations much-needed goals, the 79-year-old said

I think we need to look quite a way down into the future to inspire our young people with that greatness.

"America helped to take the world to the moon 40 years ago and America certainly can help lead the world in the direction of Mars."

The former astronaut said he was aware he had a unique perspective on the universe and had tried to share this with others

"I try and communicate with people - recently I got together with a few experts and did a rap session that you can download."
