Apollo 11 Astronaut Michael Colins Dies after Battling Cancer

Michael Collins, one of the three crew members of Apollo 11, the first manned mission to the Moon in 1969, has died at the age of 90.

Collins' name, however, will live on as a new generation of astronauts prepares to return to the Moon in the coming years, following in the footsteps of Collins and the other Apollo pioneers.
