Another one down. Godspeed, Michael Collins, the guy who stayed in orbit around the Moon while Buzz and Neil made history. But they couldn't have gotten back without that third member of the crew. "I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life. I am it. If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the other side of the moon, and one plus God knows what on this side." "I really believe that if the political leaders of the world could see their planet from a distance of, let’s say 100,000 miles, their outlook would be fundamentally changed. The all-important border would be invisible, that noisy argument suddenly silenced." "I think a future flight should include a poet, a priest and a philosopher… we might get a much better idea of what we saw." #michaelcollins #astronaut #apollo11 #requiescatinpace https://www.instagram.com/p/COOWmqJhQmu/?igshid=eywia5m3ebry
