520 The beloved American astronaut shares the wisdom and
guiding principles he has gleaned throughout his
historical career, sharing accompanying anecdotes and
memories on such topics as his initial rejection as an
astronaut, the NASA protocol change that rendered him the
second man on the moon and his 80th birthday Galapagos
dive.
520 2 "Beloved American hero Buzz Aldrin reflects on the wisdom,
guiding principles, and irreverent anecdotes he's gathered
through his event-filled life--both in outer space and on
Earth--in this inspiring guide-to-life for the next
generation. Everywhere he goes, crowds gather to meet Buzz
Aldrin. He is a world-class hero, a larger-than-life
figurehead, best known of a generation of astronauts whose
achievements surged in just a few years from first man in
space to first men on the Moon. Now he pauses to reflect
and share what he has learned, from the vantage point not
only of outer space but also of time: still a non-stop
traveler and impassioned advocate for space exploration,
Aldrin will be 86 in 2016. No Dream Is Too High whittles
down Buzz Aldrin's event-filled life into a short list of
principles he values, each illustrated by fascinating
anecdotes and memories, such as: "Second comes right after
first": NASA protocol should have meant he was first on
the Moon, but rules changed just before the mission; how
he learned to be proud of being the second man on the
Moon; "Look for opportunities, not obstacles": Buzz was
rejected the first time he applied to be an astronaut;
failure is an opportunity to learn to do better; "Always
maintain your spirit of adventure": for his 80th birthday,
Buzz went diving in the Galapagos and hitched a ride on a
whale shark; he stays fit, energetic, and fascinated with
life. No Dream Is Too High is a beautiful memento, a
thought-provoking set of ideas, and a new opportunity for
Buzz Aldrin to connect with the masses of people who
recognize his unique place in human history"--|cProvided
