Apollo 11 had a crew of 3 astronauts.

Neil Armstrong was the Commander and Edwin Aldrin was the Lunar Module Pilot. Whilst the two of them land and explored the Moon, the third crew member remained in orbit around the Moon. He was Michael Collins, the Command Module Pilot.

Whilst Armstrong and Aldrin were on the Moon, Collins flew around the far side of the Moon, and became the first person to be totally alone out of sight of the Earth.

After the Apollo 11 flight, Collins became Director of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, where I met him in 1977.
