Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journeys by Michael Collins

4.0

Really well-written autobiography. Some of the physics and engineering was beyond me. Always felt Collins to be the unsung hero of the Apollo 11 moon landing. He had to solo orbit the moon for hours and hours. Not knowing if he would be returning to Earth on his own. Hours spent on the ‘dark side’ out of contact. In those moments he was the loneliest man on earth and in space.
