Michael Collins Command Module Pilot

Case Studies Book on Entrepreneurship and Innovation & Business creation and management (English and Spanish).

  • 266 hours in space
  • 2 missions
  • 38 age at launch

A USAF fighter pilot and later test pilot who trained at Edwards with other Apollo astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Irwin, Michael Collins was selected as a NASA astronaut in 1963, and first flew as pilot of Gemini 10, with multiple rendezvouz and EVAs. He went on to write one of the best-regarded accounts of what it's like to be an astronaut, his autobiography Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey.

Michael Collins (CMP) in words

Houston. Apollo 11. The earthshine coming through the window is so bright you can read a book by it.

Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. Lunar Module Pilot

  • 290 hours in space
  • 2 missions
  • 39 age at launch

A USAF fighter pilot who had served in Korea, Buzz Aldrin completed a ScD on astronautics at MIT, with his thesis concentrating on aspects of crewed orbital rendezvouz. Selected as a NASA astronaut in 1963, he was pilot of the last Gemini mission, setting a record for extra-vehicular activity. Since retiring from NASA, he has continued to promote space travel, and is a strong proponent of crewed missions to Mars.

Okay. This one sixth g is just like the airplane.

Neil A. Armstrong Commander

  • 206 hours in space
  • 2 missions
  • 38 age at launch

A test pilot for NACA with experience on the X-1B and X-15 before moving to NASA's astronaut program in 1962, Neil Armstrong had been Command Pilot of Gemini 8, and was backup command for Apollo 8, the first crewed flight to the moon, being selected as commander of Apollo 11 while Apollo 8 was still in lunar orbit. Following Apollo 11 he taught at the University of Cincinnati and subsequently served as spokesman or board director of a number of companies.

Mission Control

Capsule Communicator

Throughout the Apollo Space Program, the CAPCOM was another astronaut who was the main person to communicate with the crew, as it was considered that someone who had that training would be best able to clearly pass information back and forth. On Apollo 11, there were four CAPCOMs operating in shifts.

Apollo 11 was the first space mission that landed humans on the moon. On July 20, 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the Moon while Michael Collins stayed in the Command Module. On the surface, Armstrong and Aldrin spent two and a half hours collecting samples, taking pictures, and exploring the surface of the moon. After they got their samples, they placed a three by five feet American flag on the moon, a plaque that said, “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon. July 20, 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.” They landed off the shores of Hawaii on July 24, 1969. Apollo 11 landing on the moon exchanged new scientific and technological information in history, encountered a new region to discover, and started more explorations in space. According to the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Apollo 11 brought back the first geological substances back from the moon. One of the substances was one-hundred and ninety-three grams of basalt. Basalt are hardened rocks from molten lava. These rocks are commonly found in Hawaii. Basalt has a dark gray color, so when the moon is looked at, the darker areas are basalt. These minerals are very similar to the ones on Earth, except for the extra titanium. These basalts from the Apollo 11 landing site are from a range of 3.6 to 3.9 million years old and come from at least two differently chemically magma sources.
The other substance was two-hundred and thirteen grams of breccia. Breccia are just
