The enduring legacy of Michael Collins, astronaut and chronicler of Apollo 11 The command module pilot on the famous flight to land on the moon will perhaps be best remembered for his unique perspective on the mission. ByJay Bennett Email Michael Collins, the astronaut who piloted the command module during the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon, died today at age 90. “We regret to share that our beloved father and grandfather passed away today, after a valiant battle with cancer,” his family writes in a public statement.
