∙ 12y agoMichael Collins waited patiently in the Lunar Module Columbia. He also spent almost half of that time in orbit alone with no communication with anyone.
"Columbia" was the Command and Service Module (CSM), not the Lunar Module. The Lunar Module was called the "Eagle", which landed on moon on July 20, 1969. "Columbia" consisted of the conical Command Module (in which the astronauts sat) and the cylindrical Service Module (which had machinery and propulsion engine, fuel tanks, batteries for supplying electricity and water etc.). After Eagle separated from Columbia, Michael Collins remained in Columbia as the "Command Module Pilot". Columbia made about 27 rounds around the moon before "Eagle" came with Armstrong and Aldrin, who joined Collins for their journey back to earth in Columbia.
