Was Michael Collins mad because he never landed on the moon?
He doesn't seem to have been. In his autobiography he claims to have felt that his role was as important as that of the other two. During the training for the Apollo 11 mission, he apparently stated that he didn't want to fly again, though Deke Slayton offered to put him back into the crew rotation, which would most likely have have put him as backup commander of Apollo 14 and commander of Apollo 17 (to clarify: the Apollo missions had three crew, the commander, the LMP, and the CMP. Collins was CMP for Apollo 11. Had he taken the offer, he would most likely have landed on the moon as part of the Apollo 17 mission.)

The report following the investigation highlighted numerous design and safety flaws in the spacecraft, prompting a redesign of the Apollo spacecraft before further missions were attempted.
