Description
Forty years ago, Buzz Aldrin became the second human to set foot on a celestial body other than Earth. This historic event remains one of mankind's greatest achievements and had a profound impact on millions worldwide. In his memoir, Aldrin shares a harrowing first-person account of the lunar landing that came within seconds of failure, as well as an insider's view of life as part of America's space program. He also opens up about his personal trials - depression and alcoholism - and his journey towards recovery. This is a story of self-destruction and self-renewal, set against the backdrop of a remarkable adventure. Aldrin's account is both a searing memoir and a visionary rallying cry to explore further beyond our planet.
