Astronaut
Michael Collins
Orbited the Moon alone while Armstrong and Aldrin walked on it, out of radio contact behind the far side, and wrote the best of the astronaut memoirs about it.
Michael Collins was an American astronaut who flew the Apollo 11 command module Columbia around the Moon in 1969 while his crewmates, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made the first crewed landing on the surface. He was also a test pilot and major general in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
