Smilies Legend
[i]In "No Dream Is Too High," Aldrin (again working with writer Ken Abraham) acknowledges that for years, "being known as 'the second man on the Moon'" troubled him considerably. ...serious in discussing loyalty, friendship and interplanetary exploration, Aldrin writes touchingly of the three Apollo 1 astronauts who died in a launch pad fire in 1967: Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Ed White, a longtime friend who had first encouraged Aldrin to apply to NASA as an astronaut. "I never had a chance to thank him for all that he meant to me or say good-bye," he writes of White. Aldrin uses this tale to offer a piece of advice: "Take the time to make that phone call just to say hello, or to even write that note of encouragement," adding that this should be done in a handwritten note, not a text or email.[/i]
