A true great from a great time in America.

Buzz is the only one left from that pioneering mission.

He was the loneliest man. Waiting alone in space, while the other two heroes landed and carried out the rest of the historic American mission. Thank God for him and men like him. We are better for knowing him.

 

[Kurusu]

May he rest in peace.

Let us hope for a peak on Mars to be named for him. RIP.

Rest in space.

Godspeed Michael Collins, you showed us what was possible working as part of a team. I still remember sitting in front of the TV with my mom and dad absolutely riveted to the screen.
Rest In Peace, Sir.

His mission was just as important as the other's. The docking for the trip home, Considering the technology of the day, it was all just amazing. Yes, a true American hero. RIP.

As he orbited the Moon in the Apollo XI Command Module, he was indeed all alone in the universe...what an amazing experience that must have been!

Rest in peace, General Collins, and may your memory be a blessing to your loved ones.

It took a LOT of people on the team to pull those off. Buzz and Neil made the baskets but they had a LOT of assists.
