Michael Collins was the pilot of the Command Module for the Apollo 11 mission. He orbited the moon while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. He never set foot on the moon.

In his autobiography he stated that although he did not land on the moon, "this venture has been structured for three men, and I consider my third to be as necessary as either of the other two".
