The only member of the Apollo 11 mission who didn't walk on the moon was Michael Collins. While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface and became the first humans to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969, Collins remained in lunar orbit piloting the Command Module, Columbia. His role was crucial for the mission's success, as he ensured that the module was ready for their return.
