In 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin completed humanity’s first lunar landing, astronaut Michael Collins, one of two supporting roles on the Apollo 11 command line, died at the age of 90. He had cancer and was struggling.
The bereaved family said through their official Twitter account that he was always kind and humble about life, and that he has faced the last challenge without any change.We feel sad that he left, but how lucky he was to live a life. They are saying that they are thinking.
Collins was orbiting the moon alone in preparation for problems with the lander when Armstrong and Aldrin were heading towards the moon. Therefore, Collins was also called the lonely man or the forgotten astronaut.
At the command ship, communication between the ground and the lander was lost several times due to the relationship between the ground and the lunar position, but Collins had to take pictures of the moon and the Earth beyond it. Some of these probably contain at least one picture that someone has seen somewhere. Collins retired as an astronaut the following year and served in the State Department before taking office as director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in 1978.
NASA said he lost astronaut Michael Collins, a true pioneer and seeker of life. Having been active as a pilot of Gemini and the Air Force, NASA said he mourned the loss of a competent pilot and astronaut trying to expand the limits of human possibilities. Regardless of the stage, he added that he always exists as one of the leaders who took the first steps in the universe. He added that even when he ventures deeper, this spirit will be with us. Meanwhile, Neil Armstrong, the captain of Apollo 11, passed away in 2012. Related information can be found here.
