Astronaut Michael Collins, one-third of the Apollo 11 moon-landing crew, died Wednesday. He was 90.

The Apollo 11 capsule launched atop a Saturn V rocket, taking humans faster and farther than they had ever gone before. KPRCs Space Reporter Rose-Ann Aragon spoke with the former Apollo Flight Simulator Instructor, Frank Hughes. Or sometimes you just knew that they didnt know that procedure as well as they wish they would have. We had two people sitting there for Apollo 11, and we would just work as a team.

Or sometimes you just knew that they didn't know that procedure as well as they wish they would have. Let's face it: They didn't know. We didn't know. That's a whole different thing you do if you're going to be a pilot.
