He was the Columbia command module pilot.
He went all the way to the moon and never set foot there.

R.I.P Michael

Only Buzz Aldrin now remains with us.

How many other Apollo crews are still with us? or is Buzz the last of that era of space exploration?

It's great to know so many of the Apollo Astronauts are still with us, they are living history.

Would his family be offered a military funeral given his military background?
