 Michael Collins. If you ask 100 random people to name the Apollo 11 astronauts 100 would get Neal Armstrong, 95 would get Buzz Aldrin, and 5 would get Michael Collins. There is even a decent chance after searching for his name that an irish politician from the early 1900s will appear before his. The eagle on the Apollo 11 mission patch was traced by Collins from a picture in the national geographic magazine.
