Michael Collins was my favourite - so charming and wise. I enjoyed the bit where he talked about the tour after they had been to the moon: “Wherever we went, people, instead of saying, ‘Well, you Americans did it!’ — everywhere, they said, ‘We did it! We, humankind, we, the human race, we, people, did it!’ I thought that was a wonderful thing. Ephemeral, but wonderful.” There's a good article in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/04/science/space/04moon.html?ex=1346558400&en=95998fbb0f7ca27c&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss" rel="nofollow">NYTimes</a> about the film.
