Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, in dark blue, looks over the railing of the Skywalk after the dedication ceremonies at Grand Canyon West on the Hualapai Indian Reservation in Arizona, March 20, 2007. Former astronaut Aldrin took the ceremonial first step on Tuesday onto a glass-bottomed walkway overhanging the Grand Canyon that backers hope will lure tourists to the remote west rim. A private developer from Las Vegas built the $40 million horseshoe-shaped walkway. [Reuters]
