Legendary "space statesman" Buzz 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 set foot on the moon during mankind's first landing with Apollo 11–and an aerospace engineer who designed an orbital rendezvous technique critical to future planetary landings–Aldrin has a vision, and in Mission to Mars he plots out the path he proposes, one that will take humans to Mars by 2035.

Sections include Foreword by Andrew Aldrin Chapter 1: The View from Air Force One Chapter 2: Time for Decision-Making Chapter 3: Your Space: Building the Business Case Chapter 4: Dreams of My Moon Chapter 5: Voyage to Armageddon Chapter 6: The March to Mars Chapter 7: Homesteading the Red Planet Chapter 8: The Clarion Call
