Michael Collins waited above while Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon 50 years ago today, knowing he couldn't rescue them if something went wrong. “I was not going to commit suicide. I was coming home by myself. And they knew that." @kchangnythttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/16/science/michael-collins-apollo-11.html …

Did Michael discuss this with the other guys? Or was this his little secret?
The rest of the quote: “I didn’t have to discuss it with them, and they didn’t have to discuss it with me. But it would not have been a good trip home.” Read the story. It’s a great story. :)

Re-reading it now. “Carrying The Fire.” He’s a great writer.
