 Obituary:  Michael Collins, 90, one of the three men aboard Apollo 11 and the least known, has died.  With his death, only Buzz Aldrin is still alive to reminisce about the 1969 moon landing and to punch out moon landing deniers.

Collins died of cancer.

Snip:

Collins was born in Italy, became an Air Force pilot, then an astronaut in the Gemini program. He was the third American to perform a spacewalk, according to NASA. Including the Apollo 11 mission, Collins logged 266 hours in space, NASA said. 

In 2019, Collins sat down with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta to reflect on the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 mission.

Collins reminisced about looking up a the sky as a child, seeing "the most marvelous things up there" and wanting to know more about them, he told Gupta. That's when he knew that he wanted to fly.

I hope Biden's speech will replay because I for one missed it:

This ain't a hill worth dying on, Joe.  Please get a clue:

"To all the transgender Americans watching at home - especially the young people who are so brave – I want you to know that your president has your back." Meanwhile, knifing half the human race in the back. No, thanks.
