Collins remained in the command module during Apollo 11 while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got to walk on the moon. Collins was just as important to the mission, but he didn't get the publicity.
During Newswatch 16 This Morning's Agnes anniversary coverage, Mindi Ramsey and Jon Meyer got to go to the Susquehanna River in Wilkes-Barre. I stayed back at the office to do news updates, the local portions of Good Morning America, and Newswatch 16 at Noon. I was happy to contribute to an extraordinary day.
As for Michael Collins, he never did get to walk on the moon. That doesn't diminish his courage and bravery. Collins died last year at the age of 90.
