Buzz Aldrin,Leonard David
"Any time an Apollo-era astronaut steps forward with ideas for our future in space, it's time to stop what whatever we're doing and pay attention. Buzz Aldrin, one of the first moonwalkers,Â has no shortage of these ideas. And in Mission to Mars he treats us to how,Â when, and why we should travel there."Â -Neil deGrasse Tyson,Legendary "space statesman" Buzz Aldrin speaks out as a vital advocate for the continuing quest to push the boundaries of the universe as we know it. As a pioneering astronaut who first set foot on the moon during mankind's first landing of Apollo 11--and as an aerospace engineer who designed an orbital rendezvous technique critical to future planetary landings--Aldrin has a vision, and in this book he plots out the path he proposes, taking humans to Mars by 2035.,Foreword by Andrew Aldrin,Chapter 1: The View from Air Force One,Chapter 2: Time for Decision-making,Chapter 3: Your Space: Building the Business Case,Chapter 4: Dreams of My Moon,Chapter 5: Voyage to Armageddon,Chapter 6: The March to Mars,Chapter 7: Homesteading the Red Planet,Chapter 8: The Clarion Call
