So I didn’t.

The rest of the book was difficult as my respect for Aldrin was slowly chipped away. He has published 40 books,… On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed their lunar module on the Sea of Tranquillity and… Ken Abraham is a New York Times bestselling author, known worldwide for his collaborations with high-profile public figures.

The first portion builds up to a dizzying climax and then settles into standard fare. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article. I have added quite a few related books to my to-read list thanks to this book.I learned a lot from reading this and realized just how little I know about space and space exploration. But I put that more on the editors who, on more than one occasion, demonstrate they don't know the difference between I and me, and rely on far too many commas and exclamation points than should be allowed in adult writing. Life seemed to have lost its luster. I wanted so much to like this book and like its subject, Buzz Aldrin. Now add into this fantasy, the idea that your race was a once in a lifetime event, and one which only a handful of people would ever experience. The event remains one of mankind's greatest achievements and was witnessed by the largest worldwide television audience in history. Redemption came when he finally embraced sobriety, gained the love of a woman, Lois, who would become the great joy of his life, and dedicated himself to being a tireless advocate for the future of space exploration--not only as a scientific endeavor but also as a thriving commercial enterprise.These days Buzz Aldrin is enjoying life with an enthusiasm that reminds us how far it is possible for a person to travel, literally and figuratively.

In Magnificent Desolation, Aldrin not only gives us a harrowing first-person account of the lunar landing that came within seconds of failure and the ultimate insider's view of life as one of the superstars of America's space program, he also opens up with remarkable candor about his more personal trials--and eventual triumphs--back on Earth.

One may think famous people have it easy, but it couldn't be further from the truth for Mr. Aldrin. This is the book to read If you want to know what it's like to be an astronaut. Forty years ago, Buzz Aldrin became the second human, minutes after Neil Armstrong, to set foot on a celestial body other than the Earth.

Describing the alien world he was walking upon, he uttered the words “magnificent desolation.” And as the astronauts later sat in the Eagle, waiting to begin their journey back home, knowing that they were doomed unless every system and part on board worked flawlessly, it was Aldrin who responded to Mission Control’s clearance to take off with the quip, “Roger. Apollo 11 astronaut and moon walker with Armstrong in 1969. I only hoped that I could figure it out before I broke down completely.” Very interesting read!“Mankind will set up camp on one of the moons of Mars and then eventually on the red planet itself. In Magnificent Desolation, Aldrin not only gives us a harrowing first-person account of the lunar landing that came within seconds of failure and the ultimate insider's view of life as one of the superstars of America's space program, he also opens up with remarkable candor about his more personal trials--and eventual triumphs--back on Earth. 0307463451
