Who's that third guy?

[simmo]

My kids asked me who was first on the moon tonight and I realised I can never remember the third guy who landed on the moon.

Niel Armstrong no worries,
Buzz Aldrin yep had a unusual name.
Now the problem.

Without Google I'd be stuffed.

So my apologies Michael Collins.

Hopefully this is helpful for anyone else suffering with this embarrassing amnesia.

Michael Collins never actually walked on the moon, he was in the command module, orbiting the moon. the third person to walk on the moon was in Apollo 12, Charles Conrad.

He was part of the team which is what I meant, geez It's not a quiz show.

Read his book, Carrying The Fire. It's fantastic.
