Michael Collins, last surviving member of Apollo 11 lunar mission, dies aged 90

The astronaut Michael Collins has died….the last surviving member of the Apollo 11 mission.


When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon in 1969, he stayed on board the orbiter.


And he's the man who piloted it around the dark side of the moon, losing all communication with earth for almost an hour.


He spoke about that experience at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in 2016.


IN:  "It was a wonderful…."

OUT:  "…by myself"

DUR:  18 seconds
