- Synopsis
-
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin became the second human to walk on the moon.
Here, he offers a first-person account of the lunar landing that came within seconds of failure, and gives an insider's perspective on how being part of NASA's nonstop public relations 'world tour' led him into a downward spiral of depression and alcoholism.
The book continues on an optimistic note through Aldrin's recovery, his second marriage, and his work opening the doors of space tourism for all. Color historical and personal photos are included.
Co-author Ken Abraham is a New York Times bestselling author.
