Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin is suing two of his children and a business manager, accusing them of misusing his credit cards, transferring money from an account and slandering him by saying he has dementia.
In the lawsuit filed earlier this month in a Florida state court, Mr Aldrin asks a judge to remove his son, Andrew, from control of his financial affairs, social media accounts and several non-profit enterprises.
He was a member of the Apollo 11 crew which landed the first two humans on the moon. Mr Aldrin joined Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface in 1969.
In a statement, the Aldrin children said they are saddened by the “unjustifiable” lawsuit.
