No Dream Is Too High

Life Lessons From a Man Who Walked on the Moon
Jan 02, 2019
Great book by (as Buzz is famously reminded just about every day of his life) "the second man to walk on the moon". And it's not just for space geeks like me. Buzz wrote this intending it to be "life lessons", but it's a lot more. Buzz has also dealt with depression issues and alcoholism post-moon landing--and came out better for it. In the course of 13 main life lessons, Buzz tells a lot of stories about his life and the moon landing that I had not heard or read before! Like trying to grab a quick nap on the floor of the LEM, and while on the floor, noticed the broken plastic cap of the engine circuit-breaker...the engine they needed to escape the moon. Some of the stories are more hilarious. Like his appearance on 30 Rock: "Hey moon, I walked on your face!". He's 80+, but lives like he's still 30 or 40. Great book.
