Michael Collins war Vater von 3 Kindern, darunter Kate Collins (* 1958).
Michael Collins war ein US-amerikanischer Astronaut, der am 31. Oktober 1930 in Rom, Italien geboren wurde und am 28. April 2021 in Naples, Florida verstarb. Collins wuchs in einer Familie mit militärischer Tradition auf, sein Vater war Armeeoffizier und sein Onkel Generalstabschef der Armee im Koreakrieg. Nach seinem Abschluss an der Militärakademie in West Point trat er der United States Air Force bei. Nach seiner Pilotenausbildung flog Collins Düsenjäger und arbeitete später als Ausbilder und Testpilot. Inspiriert von John Glenns Orbitalflug bewarb er sich bei der NASA und wurde 1963 als einer von 14 Astronauten vorgestellt. Er spezialisierte sich auf Raumanzüge und Weltraumaußentätigkeiten und wurde Ersatzpilot für Gemini 7. Seinen ersten Raumflug hatte Collins mit Gemini 10 im Jahr 1966, bei dem er zwei Weltraumausstiege durchführte und sich als erster Mensch im All von einem Raumfahrzeug zum anderen bewegte. Collins wurde für Apollo-Missionen nominiert, musste aber aufgrund von gesundheitlichen Problemen pausieren. Nach seiner Genesung wurde er Pilot der Apollo-11-Kommandokapsel. Während Neil Armstrong und Buzz Aldrin die Mondoberfläche betraten, umkreiste Collins den Mond alleine. Nach Apollo 11 lehnte er das Angebot ab, Kommandant einer weiteren Mondmission zu werden. Collins verließ die NASA und war im US-Außenministerium und als erster Direktor des National Air and Space Museum tätig. Später arbeitete er in der Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie und leitete seine eigene Firma. Collins war verheiratet und hatte drei Kinder.

After returning from the very first Moon landing, astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins jokingly filled out this customs-and-immigration form. The form was posted on the official website of the United States Border Patrol in 2009, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Moon landing.
As a plaintext customs form, it can be considered to fall below the threshold of originality; furthermore, every component of the document -- including the signatures of Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins -- was composed by employees of the United States Federal Government in the performance of their official duties.

This is the official NASA portrait of astronaut Michael Collins. Collins chose an Air Force career following graduation from West Point. He served as an experimental flight test officer at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California, and, in that capacity, tested performance and stability and control characteristics of Air Force aircraft, primarily jet fighters. Having logged approximately 5,000 hours flying time, Collins was one of the third group of astronauts named by NASA in October 1963. Collins completed two space flights, logging 266 hours in space, of which, 1 hour and 27 minutes was spent in Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA). On July 18, 1966, he served as backup pilot for the Gemini VII mission which included a successful rendezvous and docking with a separately launched Agena target vehicle and, using the power of the Agena, maneuvered the Gemini spacecraft into another orbit for a rendezvous with a second, passive Agena. His skillful performance in completing two periods of EVA included the recovery of a micrometeorite detection experiment from the passive Agena. July 16-24, 1969, Collins served as command module (CM) pilot on Apollo 11, the historic first lunar landing mission. He remained aboard the CM, Columbia, on station in lunar orbit and performed the final re-docking maneuvers following a successful lunar orbit rendezvous with the Lunar Module (LM), Eagle. Collins left NASA in January 1970.
Apollo 11 crew member Michael Collins appears calm after suiting up activities for his participation in the countdown demonstration test aboard the Apollo 11 space craft along with astronauts Aldrin and Armstrong. The Apollo 11 mission, the first lunar landing mission, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida via the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) developed Saturn V launch vehicle on July 16, 1969 and safely returned to Earth on July 24, 1969. Aboard the space craft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module (CM) pilot; and Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module (LM) pilot. The CM, “Columbia”, piloted by Collins, remained in a parking orbit around the Moon while the LM, “Eagle’’, carrying astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin, landed on the Moon. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong was the first human to ever stand on the lunar surface, followed by Aldrin. During 2½ hours of surface exploration, the crew collected 47 pounds of lunar surface material for analysis back on Earth. With the success of Apollo 11, the national objective to land men on the Moon and return them safely to Earth had been accomplished.
