Buzz Aldrin | No Dream Is Too High: Life Lessons From a Man Who Walked on the Moon
Best known for the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, retired Air Force Colonel Buzz Aldrin holds a doctorate in astronautics; developed the orbital rendezvous technique critical to America’s lunar landings; and founded the ShareSpace Foundation, a nonprofit organization devoted to opening the doors of space tourism for all people. In Magnificent Desolation: The Long Journey Home from the Moon, Aldrin told the tale of the historic moon landing, as well as the story of his later struggle with and triumph over depression and alcoholism. He is also the author of three other nonfiction books, two scientifically accurate novels, and two children’s books. In No Dream Is Too High, Aldrin illustrates the finely honed principles and lessons taught by his extraordinary life.
