Collin's 1974 book, Carrying the Fire, abt Apollo 11, is a stand-out ... for the insight it gives into the players & their contributns, for its look at the daunting unknowns that they faced, & of course for the wit & humor that only Collins could deliver.
The title? Not so much. – source2021-10-22T11:13:46.000Z
