Aldrin, alongside fellow Apollo 11 crew member Neil Armstrong, touched down on the lunar surface at 8:17 p.m. UTC on July 20, 1969.
During the landing, Michael Collins was piloting the Command Module"Columbia" alone in orbit above the moon. Once Aldrin and Armstrong had completed their time on the surface, they re-docked with the Command Module in order to make their way back home to Earth.
"On behalf of myself and the Mars Society, I would like to take the occasion of Buzz Aldrin's 90th birthday to thank him, not only for his heroic role in piloting the first human landing on the Moon, but for all the work he has done since to make sure that occasion was not only the epic achievement of its time, but indeed, 'a giant leap for all mankind.
Among the many motivational passages in the book, Aldrin also wrote:"One truth I have discovered for sure: When you believe that all things are possible and you are willing to work hard to accomplish your goals, you can achieve the next 'impossible' dream. No dream is too high!"
