Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Rest in Peace. Used to see him a lot in Downey, Ca at the North American Aviation plant when we were building the Apollo in the early days of the program when I worked there. He was a real gentleman.

Pat Riot Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Yesterday my wife and I watched the movie “Independence Day”. In the opening scenes of the movie they show a replica of the plaque left on the moon by the Apollo 11 Astronauts. Michael Collins’ name site prominently right in the middle between the two men that set foot on the moon. Many people recognize the names of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, but Michael Collins is overlooked or forgotten, even though his contributions were just as important, maybe even more important for the success of that mission.

You have to wonder what was going through his mind as he listened to the conversations between mission control and the lunar lander. The possibility of having a solo return trip is not something I would want to ponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
