Those Apollo 11 guys were my heroes back then.

Collins stayed with the ship as I recall.
One of the historic human beings.
God bless his family.

Maj. Gen Michael Collins, the forgotten member of the Apollo 11 crew.
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon. Buzz was the Luner Module pilot, and had to deal with the infamous "1201 alarm" from the privative flight control computer. And of course, Neil Armstrong famously took the first steps on the Moon and bungled his carefully rehearsed first words from the surface of the Moon: "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for Mankind." Neil forgot the (a).
Michael Collins was the Command Module pilot, and remained in orbit around the Moon for the entire time that Armstrong and Aldrin made history.

I must admit that my favorite episode of The Crown was the one that centered around the Apollo 11 mission and Prince Philip’s fascination with it.

Sad day. That leaves only Buzz Aldrin (91) from the Apollo 11 crew.

Michael Collins, the astronaut who took this photo, is the only human, alive or dead that isn't in the frame of this picture, 1969

I was only four years old in 1969, so I didn’t get to experience all this great stuff. I looked up Collins’ family, and saw that he an at least three others were general officers in the US Armed Forces. That’s pretty cool. I know a lot of that is political (who you know), but that’s still incredible to me.

RIP Michael Collins. If you are looking for a good read about the astronaut program in general and Apollo in particular I highly recommend his book Carrying the Fire. This leaves only Buzz as a living Apollo crew member.

My favorite Apollo 11 story is that Collins told Armstrong that if he had a pair, when he stepped onto the Moon he should scream “What the hell is that?!” and cut his microphone, lol.

RIP. Not many of the Apollo astronauts left.
I hope some of them will still be here to see us return to the moon.
