The second man to walk on the Moon, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin brings a unique perspective to this gripping thriller, a fast-paced story highlighting both the risks and rewards of space exploration. "Packed with hard facts about rocket science… this is a tale with a clear moral: When space beckons, only rascals and cowards will fail to respond" (New York Times).
