Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins made history with the Apollo 11 mission that effectively put an end to the Space Race between Soviet Russia and the United States. However, in a 2019 interview, it was revealed that the Cold War was the least of their concerns when they were sent to space.
In the interview, Collins admitted that president John F. Kennedy’s commitment to the Apollo 11 mission played a big part in its success. The legendary astronaut recalled where he was at the time when JFK made his speech about how there would be a man on the moon by the end of the decade. “I was struggling with the equations of motion at the test pilot’s school at Edwards Air Force Base” and added that at the time, the thought of flying to the moon was beyond what he could imagine.
But, when Collins joined the space program and became a part of the Apollo 11 mission, he realized how important and historic the mission would be. “...As the months went by I thanked John F. Kennedy more and more because the stark simplicity of his mandate was wonderful for us,” shared the astronaut.
Given that the Apollo 11 mission was carried out in the midst of the Cold War, Collins revealed that it was the least of their concerns at the time. “We, were of course, acutely aware of the USSR, we knew we were in competition with them - but somehow that was behind a screen. It wasn’t part of our day-to-day life, I didn’t feel like an active competitor, my problems were American problems, trying to get American problems solved.”
On a lighthearted note, Collins recalled the secret bet he made with Armstrong was settled by a mistake made by Aldrin. Collins shared that he bet Armstrong a case of beer that they would not flip over during their return trip to Earth.
“I had bet Neil a case of beer that we would not flip over during return. We hit the ocean so fast that Buzz, who was all prepared, his hand was jerked off and he missed the circuit breakers. I turned the switches and they didn’t work because he hadn’t pushed in the breakers. So we flipped over into stable two and I owed Neil a case of beer,” said Collins.
