Magnificent Desolation

Magnificent Desolation - Buzz Aldrin

I read this, as ever since I was a kid I've been intrigued by space. It truly is man's final frontier to explore and master.

In this book, Buzz Aldrin touches on nearly every point in his life from childhood to present day goings on. One issue he describes is the difficulty he had re-adjusting to life after returning from the moon. He was still a fairly young guy that had already accomplished all of his goals... how can one top going to the moon? The first 1/3 of this book was fantastic, but the last 2/3 seemed to turn into him rambling about various things and continuing to pat himself on the back for everything he's out there doing now.
