No Dream Is Too High

COUNTDOWN

Buzz Aldrin is one of the most brilliant men I have ever met. Is he outspoken and opinionated? Oh, yes. Is he quirky? Oh, yeah. Is he eccentric at times? More than you can imagine!

But Buzz Aldrin is also one of the kindest men I have ever met. He has a heart that goes from here to the Moon and back. He is elegant and charming. He is a gentle man, generous to a fault, self-effacing, and intensely patriotic. He can be mildly irreverent, and he is one of the funniest people ever to walk on Earth or on the Moon.

Many people know Buzz from Apollo 11; others know him from his passionate speeches motivating the next generation of explorers to get their asses to Mars. Some people don’t understand him when he speaks, but I know him well enough to be able to fill in the blanks.

Some of the stories he is about to share, I’ve heard him tell many times; others are brand new, even to me. In the pages ahead, I’m excited for you to meet the Buzz Aldrin that I know. He has so much to share with us. He really does dream big … and for Buzz, dreams do come true!
