6 stars out of a possible 5. Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins' book on his time as a test pilot and astronaut is perhaps the best astronaut biography, certainly the best from the Apollo era. He provides an engaging, honest and humble accounting of his career and of the first lunar landing mission.

I first read this as a kid when it was published in the 1970s. It was a great pleasure to read it again with this edition that was published for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
