He was the second man to walk on the moon, and now in a first-ever appearance at the Cosmosphere, Buzz Aldrin, will visit August 24th to sign his book, Mission to Mars.
In Mission to Mars, Aldrin speaks out as a vital advocate for the continuing quest to push the boundaries of the universe as we know it. As a pioneering astronaut who first set foot on the Moon during mankind’s first landing of Apollo 11 – and as an aerospace engineer who designed an orbital rendezvous technique critical to future planetary landings – Aldrin has a vision, and in this book he plots out the path he proposes, taking humans to Mars by 2035. The book has received many positive reviews from the science community.
Aldrin will be appearing from 1pm to 3pm in the Hall of Space Museum’s Apollo Gallery to sign copies of Mission to Mars. Visitors must purchase a copy/copies of Mission to Mars at the Cosmosphere and a Hall of Space admission is required. Advance purchases of Mission to Mars will also require a receipt and advance orders will be available for pickup at the signing.
