Buzz Aldrin Bücher

Des débuts en 1957 avec Spoutnik et Yuri Gagarine à la station spatiale internationale en passant par les missions Apollo avec Alan Sheppard, les satellites et les navettes spatiales, l'histoire de la conquête spatiale.

Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts liegt die Weltraumfahrt auf der Erde danieder - es fehlt an Geld, vor allem aber an sicherer und effizienter Technik. Dann aber werden plötzlich Funksignale einer außerirdischen Intelligenz aufgefangen. Ihnen zufolge liegt auf dem Mond ein Datenspeicher, der das kulturelle Erbe der Tiberianer genannten Spezies enthalten soll. Aber erst die Bergung des zweiten Datenspeichers auf dem Mars gelingt. Die Menschheit erfährt von den Versuchen der Tiberianer, 7000 v. Chr. die Erde zu kolonisieren. Obwohl sie den Menschen ca. 10.000 Jahre voraus waren, scheiterte das Unterfangen - die Eroberer assimilierten sich mit den Menschen. Dank des tiberianischen Wissens gelingt nun endlich der Sprung zur interstellaren Raumfahrt.
