美国太空人柯林斯的家属今天表示,罹患癌症的柯林斯(Michael Collins)今天辞世,享耆寿90岁。柯林斯以曾参与阿波罗11号登月计划为人所知。
法新社报导,柯林斯的家属在官方推特(Twitter)上推文:「麦可(柯林斯)向来有风度并谦卑地面对生命的挑战,他也以同样方式面对人生最终挑战。」
1969年7月16日,美国运行阿波罗11号(Apollo 11 )计划,搭载3名太空人升空,并在7月20日成功登陆月球。这3人为阿姆斯壮(Neil Armstrong)、艾德林(Buzz Aldrin)和柯林斯。
当年由艾德林与阿姆斯壮驾驶的登月小艇「老鹰号」(Eagle)于1969年7月20日登陆月球,阿姆斯壮在几小时后踏上月球表面。
柯林斯则留守在月球轨道上的母舱哥伦比亚号(Columbia)。哥伦比亚号是3名太空人返回地球的唯一交通工具。
