It appears we just lost Michael Collins.

Indeed. Sad news.

Only Buzz now left of the first Moonwalkers.

This came as a big surprise to me because he has been very active on social media lately. Very sad.

His memoir was the best one.

His memoir was the best one.

I agree - witty and articulate, as the AFJ transcript suggests he was in life.

Sad to think he's gone as well.  A real inspiration, and from what I've heard a very nice person as well.  I always loved his photograph with everyone who ever lived in it... except him  :)

This came as a big surprise to me because he has been very active on social media lately. Very sad.
Indeed - I've been following him on Facebook, and he was quite active, posting lots of informative stuff from both Apollo and more recent space science.

His memoir was the best one.
For some reason I keep overlooking it, and everyone says it is a great read.  I'll be ordering a copy ASAP.

And so another soul who visited our nearest neighbour passes on into dust and memory, gone off to the great,undiscovered country.
Rest in peace, Michael Collins, and godspeed.

One more loss, not that many Moon visitors left, including the orbital guys and A13 of course.

RIP

A friend of mine does a lot of space-program-inspired paintings and sent one to Mike last year around his birthday.  He took the time to write a nice thank you letter back.  I thought that was very classy.
