Fascinated with flight since childhood, Alan Shepard's life-long passion led him from constructing model planes in his grandfather's basement to attaining national hero status as the first American launched into space. Hailed as "America's Lindbergh of Space," Shepard's achievements in aviation, business, and philanthropy inspire all who dare to live their dreams (1923-1998).
