Did Michael Collins just stay in the rocket whilst Edwin Aldrin and Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon?
The rocket, called the 'command module', that was carrying the three astronauts to the moon was also carrying a 'lunar module' which was the craft that was to land on the moon. Once the command module was orbiting the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin entered the lunar module, separated it from the command module, and flew down to the moon while Collins piloted the command module around the moon. When it was time to leave the moon, Armstrong and Aldrin blasted off in the lunar module and flew to meet Collins in the command module where they hooked back up. Armstrong and Aldrin then left the lunar module and entered the command module. The lunar module was then jettisoned from the command module, to eventually crash into the moon, and the three made their way back to Earth in the command module.
Did Michael Collins stay in the rocket?
"Stay in the rocket" is kind of ambiguous, since in the stage of the mission where Collins was separated from Armstrong and Aldrin both pieces of the spacecraft had rockets attached to them. To be perfectly clear, what happened was that Collins remained in the command module in orbit around the Moon while Armstrong and Aldrin entered the lunar module and descended to the surface. Armstrong and Aldrin then later took off (using the rockets in the lunar module) and re-docked the lunar module to the command module for the return trip to Earth.
Why did the command and service modules stay in orbit around the moon?
The Lunar Module could not make the return trip to Earth and the CSM could not land on the moon. As such, the CSM stayed in orbit while the LM traveled to and from the lunar surface.
How long can the astrounat stay on the moon?
How long can the astronaut stay on the moon?
Did Michael Collins stay behind and not walk on the moon?
Yes. Michael Collins stayed on the Command Module orbiting the moon, while Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong landed and walked on the lunar surface. He did this because someone needed to maintain the systems on board the Command and Service Modules.

Where did nell Armstrong stay on the moon?
The astronauts walked and did the moon walk E.v.A then they returned to the lunar module after a while took of to join Michael Collins in the command module.

How long can the astronaut stay on the moon?
What part of the ship did the Apollo members stay in to try to contain oxygen?

Did anyone go with Neil Armstrong up to the moon?
Yes. Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins both accompanied Armstrong on the 3-day trip from the Earth to the Moon. When it came time to land on the moon, though, only Aldrin and Armstrong descended to the lunar surface and walked around on it. Collins decided to stay in the Apollo Command Module, orbiting the Moon, until the other two finished their business on the Moon and returned to the Command Module. Then they all flew back to Earth together.
How did lunar rover stay on the moon with out gravity?
The moon most certainly does have gravity. It is weaker than the gravity on Earth, but still very noticeable.
