A top class man, it's wonderful to listen to him and he is so unassuming.

Fantastic. Let's hope we get more of this sort of thing as we approach the anniversary.

Thanks for posting.

Good thing it's online. I tried to watch it this morning on the 00:30 BST TV broadcast on BBC News and it was cancelled.

Today Show release

Michael Collins, the command module pilot who served as an integral part of the legendary Apollo 11 crew, sits down with NBC's Harry Smith to share his perspective on the moon mission that made history 50 years ago.

Michael Collins' views on Apollo 11, from 60 miles up and 50 years on
Fifty years later, Michael Collins only has vague recollections of where he was when he first saw humans land on the moon.
He knows very well where he was when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969; he just does not recall the specifics of when he was finally able to watch a playback of humanity's first exploration of the moon.

The work of the CMPs during the lunar landings is really neglected by the media in most of the stories or programs on TV. That might be an interesting topic for a book.

He's a consummate professional, still, after all these years. Did his duty and will remain an important historical figure even though he didn't get moondust on his boots. I really like the guy... and like Alan Bean, he's an artist too.
