My own American Dream was to serve my country as best I could and make a difference in America - and in the world.

From Buzz Aldrin

I wrote 'Reaching for the Moon' because I wanted to tell kids that all of us have a moon, a dream, that we can strive for. Even if you don't attain it, you can at least reach for it.

From Buzz Aldrin

From Buzz Aldrin

From Buzz Aldrin

When you go to Mars, you need to have made the decision that you're there permanently. The more people we have there, the more it can become a sustaining environment. Except for very rare exceptions, the people who go to Mars shouldn't be coming back. Once you get on the surface, you're there.
