The American astronaut, Michael Collins, who was the command module pilot for the Apollo 11 mission to the moon, has passed away.
He died at the age of 90.
During the three-man Apollo 11 crew mission in 1969, Collins kept the command module flying while the other two members, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon.
He stayed alone in the command module for twenty-one hours till his colleagues returned.
The Autobiography written by Michael was “Carrying the Fire”.
