| buzz aldrin interview conan: THE CHRONICLES OF MANIA Brian W. Walker, 2024-06-06 This book is not about bipolar disorder but, rather, what the severe mania and delusions associated with the illness can do to someone when it is unknown, unchecked, and unbridled for more than fifty years! Brian Walker’s entire life has been ruled and governed by the mania that results from being bipolar. This mania has driven him to do things so far and beyond the grade that, in many cases, his actions and behaviors seem to defy all boundaries of sensibility. Whether it’s building a two-man submarine to explore the subsea world in Fiji to inventing a toy of unbelievable success to creating a rocket to be the first person to the edge of space in a home-built missile, he has always pushed the limits of sanity in many of his projects. Even after decades of failures, where seemingly everything that he attempted to do was relegated to the trash heap of broken dreams, he always lived by the saying “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm!” Trying to thrive and survive in a “normal” world with an abnormal brain has never been easy. His life has been an ongoing effort to discover the “next big thing,” as well as to just be able to get through another day. And his journey thus far has been an amazing one! |
| buzz aldrin interview conan: Silver Screen Fiend Patton Oswalt, 2015-10-13 Between 1995 and 1999, Patton Oswalt lived with an unshakable addiction. It wasn't drugs, alcohol or sex: it was film. After moving to L.A., Oswalt became a huge film buff (or as he calls it, a sprocket fiend), absorbing classics, cult hits, and new releases at the New Beverly Cinema. Silver screen celluloid became Patton's life schoolbook, informing his notion of acting, writing, comedy, and relationships. Set in the nascent days of L.A.'s alternative comedy scene, Oswalt's memoir chronicles his journey from fledgling stand-up comedian to self-assured sitcom actor, with the colorful New Beverly collective and a cast of now-notable young comedians supporting him all along the way-- |
| buzz aldrin interview conan: Moon Hoax: Debunked! Paolo Attivissimo, 2013-10-13 A no-nonsense, fact-filled debunking of all the main Moon hoax conspiracy theories, collected in a single book.

Moon Hoax: Debunked! is also an opportunity to rediscover and celebrate one of mankind's greatest voyages, which doesn't need conspiracy theories to be a fascinating adventure. For example, did you know how close to failure each flight actually came? Did you know that pictures of Playmates were smuggled to the Moon to prank the astronauts? Or that there was a secret Soviet plan to land a Russian on the Moon before the US? Paolo Attivissimo is a British-Italian science journalist, lifelong space enthusiast and contributor to NASA's Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. |

| buzz aldrin interview conan: The Light of Other Days Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen Baxter, 2010-01-11 Quantum wormhole technology brings about the end of human privacy in a novel “fizzing with ideas” by two of science fiction’s most acclaimed authors (Kirkus Reviews). From Arthur C. Clarke, the brilliant mind that brought us 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Stephen Baxter, the Philip K. Dick Award–winning author of The Time Ships, comes a novel of a day, not so far in the future, when the barriers of time and distance have suddenly turned to glass. When a brilliant, driven industrialist harnesses cutting-edge physics to enable people everywhere, at trivial cost, to see one another at all times—around every corner, through every wall—the result is the sudden and complete abolition of human privacy, forever. Then the same technology proves able to look backward in time as well. The Light of Other Days is a story that will change your view of what it is to be human. |

| buzz aldrin interview conan: I Want My MTV Rob Tannenbaum, Craig Marks, 2012-09-25 Remember When All You Wanted Was Your MTV? The perfect gift for the music fan or child of the eighties in your life. Named One of the Best Books of 2011 by NPR – Spin - USA Today – CNBC - Pitchfork - The Onion - The Atlantic - The Huffington Post – VEVO - The Boston Globe - The San Francisco Chronicle Remember the first time you saw Michael Jackson dance with zombies in Thriller? Diamond Dave karate kick with Van Halen in Jump? Tawny Kitaen turning cartwheels on a Jaguar to Whitesnake's Here I Go Again? The Beastie Boys spray beer in (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)? Axl Rose step off the bus in Welcome to the Jungle? It was a pretty radical idea-a channel for teenagers, showing nothing but music videos. It was such a radical idea that almost no one thought it would actually succeed, much less become a force in the worlds of music, television, film, fashion, sports, and even politics. But it did work. MTV became more than anyone had ever imagined. I Want My MTV tells the story of the first decade of MTV, the golden era when MTV's programming was all videos, all the time, and kids watched religiously to see their favorite bands, learn about new music, and have something to talk about at parties. From its start in 1981 with a small cache of videos by mostly unknown British new wave acts to the launch of the reality-television craze with The Real World in 1992, MTV grew into a tastemaker, a career maker, and a mammoth business. Featuring interviews with nearly four hundred artists, directors, VJs, and television and music executives, I Want My MTV is a testament to the channel that changed popular culture forever. |

| buzz aldrin interview conan: Steely Dan's Aja Don Breithaupt, 2007-05-15 Aja was the album that made Steely Dan a commercial force on the order of contemporaries like Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles and Chicago. A double-platinum, Grammy-winning bestseller, it lingered on the Billboard charts for more than a year and spawned three hit singles. Odd, then, that its creators saw it as an ambitious, extended work, the apotheosis of their anti-rock, anti-band, anti-glamour aesthetic. Populated by thirty-fi ve mostly jazz session players, Aja served up prewar song forms, mixed meters and extended solos to a generation whose idea of pop daring was Paul letting Linda sing lead once in a while. And, impossibly, it sold. Including an in-depth interview with Donald Fagen, this book paints a detailed picture of the making of a masterpiece. |

Michelson invented several important optical instruments and established the speed of light close to its present day measurement. He proved once and for all that space had no ether, which for hundreds of years was considered necessary for the transmission of light waves.

| buzz aldrin interview conan: If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY? Stephen Webb, 2002-10-04 In a 1950 conversation at Los Alamos, four world-class scientists generally agreed, given the size of the Universe, that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations must be present. But one of the four, Enrico Fermi, asked, If these civilizations do exist, where is everybody? Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 million stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 million galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14 billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. Webb discusses in detail the 50 most cogent and intriguing solutions to Fermi's famous paradox. |

Magnificent Desolation begins with the story of his voyage into space, which came within seconds of failure, and reveals a fascinating insider's view of the American space programme. But that thrilling adventure was only the beginning, as Aldrin battled with his own desolation in the form of depression and alcoholism. This epic journey encompasses the brutally honest tale of Aldrin's self-destruction, and the redemption that came through finding love when hope seemed lost. _________________________ 'Buzz Aldrin might not have been the first man to walk on the Moon, but of all the astronauts to have been there, none of them has articulated their predicament with quite such wisdom and sensitivity' - MAIL ON SUNDAY |
| buzz aldrin interview conan: Who Is Michael Ovitz? Michael Ovitz, 2018-09-25 If you're going to read one book about Hollywood, this is the one. As the co-founder of Creative Artists Agency, Michael Ovitz earned a reputation for ruthless negotiation, brilliant strategy, and fierce loyalty to his clients. He reinvented the role of the agent and helped shape the careers of hundreds of A-list entertainers, directors, and writers, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep, Sean Connery, Bill Murray, Robin Williams, and David Letterman. But this personal history is much more than a fascinating account of celebrity friendships and bare-knuckled dealmaking. It's also an underdog's story: How did a middle-class kid from Encino work his way into the William Morris mailroom, and eventually become the most powerful person in Hollywood? How did an agent (even a superagent) also become a power in producing, advertising, mergers & acquisitions, and modern art? And what were the personal consequences of all those deals? After decades of near-silence in the face of controversy, Ovitz is finally telling his whole story, with remarkable candor and insight. |

| buzz aldrin interview conan: They Can Take It Out Cheryl Vermeulen, 2022-03 A story of illness, healing, and regeneration into joy. Fiercely the speaker shares her life as a woman with cancer, the invasions and intimacies of the battle against it, the healing, and the quest to make new life for herself and her family. Says Cole Swenson, Weaving illness, art, and pregnancy together as if surprising, even stunning, twists of phrasing could out-maneuver a cancer or guarantee conception, the poems in this collection cover an amazing range of human event and emotion. But fascination and a rare kind of deeply-informed delight win out--there's a zeal for life that rings throughout the whole, a commitment to vigor in the face of inevitable diversity, and a delicate humor that invites the reader to hope. Nikki Wallschlaeger adds, Bodies are a biological tapestry of the environments that made them. Unfortunately, even though they belong to us, they are often out of our control. Vermeulen writes, 'They're beads. A string of beads. / Civilizations.' Cells that contain the worst about human society-- 'Awe and disease. Conquest.' What to do about it? Remove what doesn't work, what hurts, what kills. It's not that easy. THEY CAN TAKE IT OUT speaks to the experience of disease as a relationship with what's outside the human body. 'Immortal cells are cancerous cells. They don't stop dividing.' Civilization is the diagnosis. Finally, Amaranth Borsuk concludes, Full of memory and movement, painting and dance, the speaker in THEY CAN TAKE IT OUT acknowledges 'Art is my favorite future.' Navigating loss upon loss, she knows that 'we love a woman looking sure-footed,' but that every dance is, as they say, a controlled fall. In these poignant and pointed poems, Vermeulen shows us the body in descent, tracking its graceful gestures, its pantomimes and procedures to show we each carry something extra that, though they may take it out, makes us fundamentally ourselves. Poetry. Women's Studies. |
| buzz aldrin interview conan: First Man James R. Hansen, 2012-11-27 On July 20, 1969, the world stood still to watch American astronaut Neil A. Armstrong become the first person ever to step on the surface of another heavenly body. Upon his return to Earth, Armstrong was celebrated for his monumental achievement. He was also--as NASA historian Hansen reveals in this authorized biography--misunderstood. Armstrong's accomplishments as an engineer, a test pilot, and an astronaut have long been a matter of record, but Hansen's access to private documents and unpublished sources and his interviews with more than 125 subjects (including more than fifty hours with Armstrong himself) yield the first in-depth analysis of this elusive, reluctant hero. |

Starting with underwear – did you know Elizabeth I owned just one pair of drawers, worn only after her death? – she moves garment by garment through Western attire, exploring both the items we still wear every day and those that have gone the way of the dodo (sugared petticoats, farthingales and spatterdashers to name but a few). Beautifully illustrated throughout, and crammed with fascinating and eminently quotable facts, Stitches in Time shows how the way we dress is inextricably bound up with considerations of aesthetics, sex, gender, class and lifestyle – and offers us the chance to truly appreciate the extraordinary qualities of these, our most ordinary possessions. |

| buzz aldrin interview conan: The Ordinary Spaceman Clayton C. Anderson, 2015-06 What's it like to travel at more than 850 MPH, riding in a supersonic T-38 twin turbojet engine airplane? What happens when the space station toilet breaks? How do astronauts take out the trash on a spacewalk, tightly encapsulated in a space suit with just a few layers of fabric and Kevlar between them and the unforgiving vacuum of outer space? The Ordinary Spaceman puts you in the flight suit of U.S. astronaut Clayton C. Anderson and takes you on the journey of this small-town boy from Nebraska who spent 167 days living and working on the International Space Station, including nearly forty hours of space walks. Having applied to NASA fifteen times over fifteen years to become an astronaut before his ultimate selection, Anderson offers a unique perspective on his life as a veteran space flier, one characterized by humility and perseverance. From the application process to launch aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, from serving as a family escort for the ill-fated Columbia crew in 2003 to his own daily struggles--family separation, competitive battles to win coveted flight assignments, the stress of a highly visible job, and the ever-present risk of having to make the ultimate sacrifice--Anderson shares the full range of his experiences. With a mix of levity and gravitas, Anderson gives an authentic view of the highs and the lows, the triumphs and the tragedies of life as a NASA astronaut. |

| buzz aldrin interview conan: Return to Earth Buzz Aldrin, Wayne Warga, 2015-12-15 Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s courageous, candid memoir of his return to Earth after the historic moon landing and his personal struggle with fame and depression. “We landed with all the grace of a freight elevator,” Buzz Aldrin relates in the opening passages of Return to Earth, remembering Command Module Columbia’s abrupt descent into the gravity of the blue planet. With that splash, Aldrin takes readers on a journey through the human side of the space program, as one of the first two men to land on the moon learns to cope with the pressures of his new public persona. In honest and compelling prose, Aldrin reveals a side of instant fame for which West Point and NASA could never have prepared him. One day a fighter pilot and engineer, the next a cultural hero burdened with the adoration of thousands, Aldrin gives a poignant account of the affair that threatened his marriage, as well as his descent into alcoholism and depression that resulted from trying to be too many things to too many people. He didn’t realize that when he landed on his home planet his odyssey had just begun. As Aldrin puts it, “I traveled to the moon, but the most significant voyage of my life began when I returned from where no man had been before.” Return to Earth is a powerful and moving memoir that exposes the stresses suffered by those in the Apollo program and the price Buzz Aldrin paid when he became an American icon. |
