I was going to post exactly the same thing. It's such an understated way of phrasing it and a really beautiful photo. I wonder how Collins felt? There's a quote from him on the page, but it's more about the photo rather than himself. Surely that's been discussed...
- embedded_hiker 6y agoCollins wrote a book about his experiences - more of an autobiography up to 1974. He talks about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_the_Fire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_the_Fire
- Breza 5y agoIt's a truly amazing book. It's easy for authors to romanticize spaceflight or to write a dry technical manual. Carrying the Fire does an incredible job of splitting the difference between the two extremes.
