【Two Couples Affair in Broad Daylight】

The Two Couples Affair in Broad Daylightsecond man on the moon has had a hell of a week.

While accompanying a tourist group to the icy plains of Antarctica, former astronaut Buzz Aldrin's health took a worrying turn.

The 87-year-old was airlifted to nearby New Zealand after his "condition deteriorated," according to a statement.

By curious happenstance, the Apollo 11 pilot saw his path to recovery supervised by one David Bowie -- the medical doctor that is, not the late musical and Space God.

Aldrin's mission director Christina Korp tweeted out a picture of the two men deep in conversation, alongside Bowie's MD plaque at the Canterbury Hospital, joking "you can't make this stuff up."

Thank heaven @TheRealBuzz's doctor is David Bowie. You can't make this stuff up. pic.twitter.com/jbqqZeWgx9

The former real life space man's Twitter game has been strong, since his admittance to hospital, with hilarious recovery antics documented by Korp and Aldrin -- from driving nurses nuts to some genius subtweeting about Kim Kardashian.

We've been trying to figure out who we know in New Zealand and @Buzzs_xtina says we should invite @AJemaineClement & @Bret from @fotc! pic.twitter.com/9vInvcFhwe

Someone sent me affirmation cards. The first one said "Follow your inner moonlight. Don't fight the madness". Howl! pic.twitter.com/5C9IHg9gan

Aldrin remains in medical quarantine, but if Korp's Twitter feed is anything to go by, Dr. Bowie may have worked a different kind of star dust, and the moon walker will be back to exploring the vast reaches of this earth sometime soon.
