May God bless Commander Collins and the entire Apollo 11 crew. I will never forget their mission, and how it changed the world.

My favorite. This makes me sad as we are losing TRUE Americans. If you have not, read “Carrying the Fire” by Collins. My favorite Apollo book. It’s a fantastic account from the guy who stayed in orbit around the Moon while waiting for Armstrong and Aldrin to return from the first Moon walk. Rest in peace, Sir. And thank you for your service.

I’ve been to the Mission Control room (old one) in Houston many times and always treat it hallowed ground. The Apollo project represents to me the singular best of America in my liftime.

See, they told us way back in the 60’s that astronauts would die!!!

Just like they told us the currency would collapse, we were heading into an ice age, and we were going to run out of all raw materials!

But do people listen?

No!

Called the "loneliest man in the solar system" or something like that when Armstrong and Aldrin were on the moon and he was circling around it.

His father, uncle, and brother were Army generals (he became a general in the Air Force Reserve) and his daughter was on All My Children. One of her characters was the insane "Janet from Another Planet." Sort of fitting for an astronaut's daughter.

It’ll be a real shame if all the Apollo era guys are dead before we got back to the moon. I sure hope Artemis works out.

People don’t always go to the moon, but when they do, they are awesome and objectively better than you.

RIP American Hero.

The Apollo program was the pinnacle of American greatness.

The 6 men that orbited the moon were, at the time, the loneliest humans in the universe being farther away from any human when going around the dark side.
