red750 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins, who orbited the moon alone while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made their historic first steps on the lunar surface, has died aged 90. Collins died of cancer, his family said in a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 He had a good innings. Buzz Aldrin is now the only one left. I wonder if he will live to see the next human walk on the moon since the Apollo program was cancelled back in 1972. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methusala Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Collings wrote a bloody good book called (I think) "Riding the Fire". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
