An extraordinary pilot, scuba diver, moonwalker, and the first man to board a spacecraft on its way back to Earth, he advises us to keep going—farther and deeper into space. Page by page, this book makes you want to slide into your space suit and light your engines.”—Bill Nye“A detailed, multi-stage plan for journeying to the red planet that would culminate in the first permanent human settlement beyond the Earth.”—Smithsonian Magazine“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, has no shortage of these ideas. And in ‘Mission to Mars’ he treats us to how, when, and why we should travel there.”—Neil deGrasse Tyson“Buzz Aldrin has been as far from Earth as any human being, and now he’s leading the charge to go much farther, to our next epic destination: Mars.”—James Cameron “Buzz is one of the foremost forward thinkers of our time and this book will be essential reading for those who care about humanity’s future in space.”—Richard BransonThe book is in fine, collectible condition, with no torn or bent pages, no scratches, stains or inscriptions, no remainder marks, no price-clipping, no bookplate, no ex-library, no book club edition, no flaws of any sort.
