Beloved American hero and astronaut Buzz Aldrin reflects on the wisdom, guiding principles, and irreverent anecdotes he's gathered—both in outer space and on earth—through his event-filled life, 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.

Book Review Number Five: year 2018
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2018
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

No Dream IS Too High, Buzz Aldrin

I felt good reading this book. It reads like a personal letter sent from the great moon man himself. And in a world that seems so full of endless negative thinking, this is a much needed thing. The book, therefore, arrives with perfect timing; optimism is woven into its fabric. If your sails are sinking low, or your batteries need a jump start, then this book is a perfect remedy. Not that the story is all good news. There were many downs in Buzz Aldrin’s life, but he was determined to overcome them with just as many ups. The author reminds us that, in his words, progress is not always linear, sometimes zigzagging is necessary to reach a goal. Time and again he encountered failures, learned from them, even laughed at them, and then overcame the stumbling blocks with perseverance and moved on to victory.

Use the internet to see things described. Like the F-86 Sabre jets he flew.

Very generous accolades given to his fellow astronauts and flyers, especially the fallen like Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee on Apollo 1.

Interesting episode while a cadet at West Point. He sees a student cheating. Does he remain silent or adhere to the honor code?

On a lighter note, I might add, never offer your Phobos to a President who thinks it’s for keeps. (there’s a nice glossy photo that goes with this episode).
Also, one has to wonder what happened to the three blue plastic bags that Buzz Aldrin tossed out of the Gemini 12 spacecraft. Let’s just hope the three plastic satellites burned up on reentry.

Somewhere between mirth and serious, we get a great summary of the punch heard around the world/moon.

Also, Buzz Aldrin addresses his enthusiastic desire for the space program to reach out for the planet Mars.

a definite five star review for a man who walked on the moon.

To Buzz,
Thank you sir for this wonderful recount of your life's lessons in "No Dream Is Too High." Being a child of Apollo, born only days before President Kennedy famous speech inspiring our nation to go to the Moon, to watching you take Your first step upon our closest celestial body. My chosen career, my passion, my drive and determination, and sense of adventure, both above the clouds to below the sea, were clearly formed by both my parents, and that wonderful era where children were taught to reach for the stars. It is you sir, and your team, that enabled me to always look up and reach for something greater than myself. And this book is a clear reminder of who my heroes where as a young boy. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to our country and our youth and please note, that without your efforts and those dreams you help me formulate so many years ago, I'm not sure of the man I'd be today. This book is a must read, for all those of any age, who need to find, or reacquaint themselves with that internal flame of doing the right thing, regardless of difficulty, with honor and integrity. Mars needs to be the next destination for today's youth, like the moon was for me. It's long overdue. GYATM!

Very Enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021
Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
I have other books written by Buzz Aldrin, as I have had a lifelong interest in the space program. This one is different in that it can best be described as a Buzz Aldrin pep talk. This is in no way a criticism, but a compliment. I think that most people on occasion need a good pep talk, or at least something to help them see a different point of view, or realize they're not alone in experiencing a situation. This book gives us the author's own unique take on life and how he has approached things and situations, including a few examples of what not to do. The book has interesting ideas, humorous situations, and things to ponder. Enjoy it for what it is!

To read the intrepid story of Buzz Aldrin on this important time in space history, as he gave a word by word account of his journey to the moon, his walk on the moon and personal happenings on the return to earth, was one of the most awesome books I've ever opened. I finished in two readings as it was one of the hardest books to put down that I've ever read...intrigue on every page! I recommend this for all ages, especially young readers, as they are our future. Most definitely one day, humans will venture further out into space, which will prove the futuristic and positive thinking of Buzz Aldrin.

Love Buzz Aldrin, but I wish he would’ve been more detailed in this book.
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2020
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This book is a simple read and as a relatively new space enthusiast, I still found it to be lacking some depth. It was interesting to learn about his life and how it led up to the moon as well as some of the struggles he faced, but many of the life lessons he cites doesn’t have a whole lot of detail, particularly compared to books from other astronauts. I wish he would’ve gone more in-depth with the particulars of his work and experiences. I was hoping for something more like Bob Iger’s Ride of a Lifetime book in terms of being taken behind the curtain. I love Buzz Aldrin and it is nice for older children-teens but if you’re looking for more in-depth detail, I think you’ll be left feeling unsatisfied.

Ich kann das Buch nur bestens empfehlen. Buzz Aldrin erzählt sehr viel über sich selbst und seine Karriere als Astronaut, gibt aber gleichzeitig auch Ratschläge und Tipps die man im eigenen Leben umsetzen kann. Wer seine Worte ernst nimmt kann durchaus viel davon profitieren. Von all seinen Büchern ist dies weitaus das Beste!
