Some photos of Mike as a little one, taken throughout his childhood in Rome, Oklahoma, New York, Maryland, and Puerto Rico
Oh Mike, my sweetie.
“It’s human nature to stretch, to go, to see, to understand. Exploration is not a choice, really—it’s an imperative.” -Mike Collins
So. I think it's important to do this.
I want to support everyone in the space community during this difficult time. Mike was and still is the best of the best. I already miss him and now, looking at the Moon... I will wink at him, I promise.
His life was incredibly bright, that's why we will never forget him. Just remember the words from the song Stardust.
High up in the sky the little stars climb,
Always reminding me that we're apart.
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die.
I love each of you and hug tightly, as tightly as if I had the opportunity to hug Mike...
How the media depicts the Apollo 11 mission:
Actual quotes from the Apollo 11 mission:
Mike... I love you. I really miss you.
I will miss you, always.
From the Collins Family:
“We regret to share that our beloved father and grandfather passed away today, after a valiant battle with cancer. He spent his final days peacefully, with his family by his side. Mike always faced the challenges of life with grace and humility, and faced this, his final challenge, in the same way. We will miss him terribly. Yet we also know how lucky Mike felt to have lived the life he did. We will honor his wish for us to celebrate, not mourn, that life. Please join us in fondly and joyfully remembering his sharp wit, his quiet sense of purpose, and his wise perspective, gained both from looking back at Earth from the vantage of space and gazing across calm waters from the deck of his fishing boat. Our family asks for privacy during this difficult time. Details on services will be forthcoming.”
I AGREE WITH YA!

I am in love with Mike’s shirt. Somehow I am not surprised he brought the fashion sense to this party. Meanwhile, John’s whole look is very Salvation Army, bless his little heart.
Silence : wtf 🗿
Nobody: silence
No one: literally nothing
Me: yeah but can you name the Apollo 11 command module pilot

Some of my favorite parts of “Apollo 11″ were these little (way too short) snippets so I thought I’d gif some of them :)
