"I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life. I am it. If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the other side of the moon, and one plus God knows what on this side." -- Michael Collins ([twitter.com profile] AstroMCollins), on Apollo 11, in Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journeys (1974, Cooper Square Press)

I also love that he took this photo of Eagle returning from the Moon, with the Earth in the background.

The photo's frame contained every human being in existence except one.
