Illustrated by
Wendell Minor.
Aldrin presents an overview of the space program, including what might lie ahead for missions to the Moon and Mars. What makes this contribution unique is its narrator: Aldrin's first-person account establishes his connections to the people and events--a touch that may inspire readers themselves to become part of the story someday. Minor's finely detailed illustrations match the personal-narrative tone. Timeline, websites. Bib.
