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
