His book is the best written of all the astronaut accounts too.He always seemed to be the most likeable of the three.

90 years, and he got to go to the fucking moon. I'd take that.
RIP Mike.
RIP Mike.

Oh, RIP. What a life. He might not trip off the tongue of schoolkids as readily as the other two but he won't be forgotten. His book is brilliant, too.

I visited that Michael Collins’ birthplace in Co Cork. There’s an MDF replica of his armoured car.

A short video (1 min 44) that NASA have put out in tribute to Collins:

EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
He was manoeuvred into that by de Valera and Armstrong who left him in the hot seat while they went of on their jollies. And Julia Roberts could have been a lot more supportive during the negotiating process

I’ve posted this before somewhere. It has to be the most important photograph in history. Michael Collins took it from the command module. It contains every living human at that moment except him.

Circling the moon alone for 22 hours wondering if the lunar module would function properly on the ascent sounds incredibly stressful - he later said he had a bag around his neck containing 18 contingency plans to rescue Aldrin and Armstrong if something went wrong.
In his memoir, he wrote: "My secret terror for the last six months has been leaving them on the moon and returning to Earth alone; now I am within minutes of finding out the truth of the matter. If they fail to rise from the surface, or crash back into it, I am not going to commit suicide; I am coming home, forthwith, but I will be a marked man for life and I know it."

The biggest mystery is how the rocket ever got off the ground, given the size of their balls.
