"Not since Adam has any human known such solitude as Mike Collins," the mission log said, referring to the biblical figure. Collins' first voyage into space came in July 1966 as pilot on Gemini X, part of the missions that prepared NASA's Apollo programme. After a short stint in government, Collins became director of the National Air and Space Museum, stepping down in 1978. His strongest memory from Apollo 11, he said, was looking back at the Earth, which he said seemed "fragile".
