“Colonizing space is essential for the long-term
survival of the human race, and Buzz Aldrin’s book shows us how.”

“Any time an Apollo-era astronaut steps forward
with ideas for our future in space, it’s time to stop whatever we’re doing
and pay attention. Buzz Aldrin, one of the first moonwalkers, has no shortage
of these ideas. And in Mission to Mars he treats us to
how, when, and why we should travel there.”

“Buzz Aldrin has been as far from Earth as any
human being, and now he’s leading the charge to go much farther, to our next
epic destination: Mars.”

“Buzz is one of the foremost forward thinkers of
our time, and this book will be essential reading for those who care about
humanity’s future in space.”

“Although the lunar landing is decades behind
him, Dr. Aldrin is just plain passionate about humankind’s exploration of
space. An extraordinary pilot, scuba diver, moonwalker, and the first man to
board a spacecraft on its way back to Earth, he advises us to keep going—farther
and deeper into space. Page by page, this book makes you want to slide into
your space suit and light your engines.”

“Aldrin makes a daring proposal for further space exploration in this exciting glimpse of the new new frontier…With all the ardor of a child raised on Buck Rogers, Aldrin imagines terraforming Mars into ‘humankind’s future home.’ Starry-eyed kids and those old enough to remember the original space race will appreciate his enthusiastic vision.”

“The author’s human side is revealed as he
movingly notes the death of Neil Armstrong with great grief. Readers can only
imagine the uniqueness of their shared experiences. Recommended for NASA buffs
and anyone interested in the future of space travel.”

“His ideas are undeniably provocative and guaranteed to stir controversy among both amateur and professional space-travel enthusiasts.”

“A masterful array of strategies for exploration
by a true space expert and patriot.”

“Mission to Mars is pure Buzz: creative ideas flying off the
pages, a big picture view of how to move forward, and a laser-like focus on why
space exploration is key to humanity’s future. Buzz Aldrin has been making
major contributions to the US space program for a half century, and his new book
continues that tradition.”

“I’ve traveled to the North Pole with Buzz, and
if I were to travel to Mars I can’t think of a better person to plan the trip
than he. Sign me up!”

“Buzz Aldrin’s Mission to Mars presents
a bold, inviting plan to colonize Mars. His call that the ‘Earth isn’t the only
world for us anymore’ is incontrovertible.”

“No one’s given more thought to Mars exploration
than Buzz Aldrin—a hero whose legacy as one of the first men on the moon may
well be eclipsed by his contributions to engineering our future in space.”

“There are places to go beyond belief, and this book
is the call to get there.”
