Reaching For The Moon by Buzz Aldrin

I walked on the Moon. This is my journey. I didn't begin when I stepped on board Apollo 11 on July 16, 1969. It began the day I was born - Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr., whom everyone called Buzz.. Becoming an astronaut took more education, discipline, and physical strength. It took years of determination and believing that any goal is possible - from riding a bike alone across the George Washington Bridge at age ten to making a footprint on the Moon. I always knew the Moon was within my reach - and that I was ready to be part of a team that would achieve the first landing. But it was still hard to believe when I took my first step onto the Moon's surface. We all have our dreams - this is the story of how mine came true.
