    Gemini 12

    Magnificent Desolation
    (2009), recount his struggles with
    clinical depression and alcoholism
    in the years after leaving NASA. He continued to advocate for space exploration, particularly a human mission to Mars

    that makes travel to Mars possible using less time and propellant.
