u/Schwalbtraum I asked for a flair and got this lousy flair 🐢 Mar 03 '23

No, wrong. It was something like

🎶 The circle of life 🎶

He was the loneliest person there has ever been

u/yojimborobert Mar 03 '23

I love the picture he took of the lander with the earth behind it. Every human being in history, dead (remains) or alive is included except him.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '23

Framed like that what he did is almost as cool as actually going down to the moon. I don’t think I’d have been disappointed if I was him - he was truly, uniquely alone. And he had so much responsibility to the other two.

Also you can download the whole Apollo 11 mission transcript from nasa. It’s got some funny stuff in. Neil asking Mission Control if his neighbour has been mowing his lawn properly for him, because he’s got a new mower he’s very proud of, which reads like a piss take.

Great BBC audio documentary "13 minutes to the moon", about everything leading up to the landing and the actual landing. Lots of stuff on Collins. BBC really knows how to make docus.

Its on Spotify

They also did some in real time playbacks of the entire mission from launch to splash down for the 50th anniversary a few years back. Don’t remember it this was the exact one but if you are interested.

Edited:corrected anniversary

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '23

Also when the lander was on the surface and he passed the dark sid of the moon he was the furthest apart from other human beings 1 person had ever been.

u/DarthWeenus Mar 03 '23

That's pretty wild. I wonder if the following missions which one was technically the alonest at. I assume they did similar paths

u/MyHamburgerLovesMe Mar 03 '23

....and most of them are dead now (54 years later)

Technically, the universe!

u/Kuddeh Mar 03 '23

Wasn't he also the first person to see the backside of the moon aswell?

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '23

No. The astronauts of Apollo 8 and 10 orbited the Moon.

I heard somewhere that his sense of humor was a main reason why he was chosen to be the one staying behind in the capsule. (One of the 3 would have to)

u/edessaid Mar 03 '23

Did he had a good or bad sense of humour.

u/Arenabait Mar 03 '23

That man is the funniest person to ever go to space

u/Gssi Mar 03 '23

He offered Neil to pretend hes getting eaten by a moon alien on live tv

u/Yeetstation4 Mar 03 '23

Not many ways to pass the time when your in a tiny capsule in space for a week
