The Jonas Brothers weren’t quite in an astronaut’s orbit, and as a result, they nearly didn’t land a photo with him.

The musicians, who were recently inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame, joined the ranks of Harriet Tubman, The Isley Brothers and Meryl Streep with the honor. But another inductee, former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, almost moonwalked his way out of a photo with the trio.

“He refused to take a picture with me,” Joe Jonas shared on a July 31 episode of the podcast “Last Meals” from Mythical Kitchen.

Jonas went on to say that someone approached Aldrin and suggested, “You should probably take a picture with him.”

That suggestion proved to be fruitful as the former NASA astronaut posted the photo on X in 2017.
