I remember when he was up there when he was all alone in the CM, I wondered if he was feeling lonely?
Rest well, star voyager!

Alex, I'll take astronauts for $1000, please:​

Collins was the trivia question answer that few folks could answer.
A couple of years ago on the 50th anniversary of the Landing, general trivia bantered about was "who are the three on Apollo 11?"

Folks could rattle off Neil and Buzz, but only a few after some thought could name Collins.

When a person thinks about what they did with the technology they had back then, you realize just how brave they were. RIP Mr. Collins
