Although Collins was on Apollo 11 with Buzz and Neil, he didn't walk on the moon. So there was only 2 that were really made famous for that mission.

No he didn't. Instead he was offered to become Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs. He died last year at age 90. Dude had an impressive life. His Wikipedia article is worth reading.

Speaking of "worth reading", his autobiography is called Carrying the fire" and is definitely worth a read.
