How much was Buzz Aldrin paid for Apollo 11?

Buzz Aldrin, like other astronauts, was a government employee and did not receive a specific salary for the Apollo 11 mission itself. At the time, NASA astronauts were paid according to military pay scales, and Aldrin's salary was approximately $17,000 per year. However, this amount is reflective of his overall compensation as an astronaut rather than a payment specific to the Apollo 11 mission.
