The year was 1969. The world held its breath as NASA launched the historic Apollo 11 mission, with the ultimate goal of landing humans on the moon. While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became household names as the first men to walk on the lunar surface, there was another man who played a crucial role in this groundbreaking achievement.

Michael Collins, the Command Module Pilot, remained in orbit around the moon as Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the moon's surface. While they embarked on their historic moonwalk, Collins circled the celestial body, alone in the command module, his only companionship being the vast expanse of space.

Collins' solitude in space was not without its challenges. During the 48 minutes of radio silence as the spacecraft passed behind the moon, he was truly alone, cut off from all communication with his fellow astronauts and mission control. It was during this time that his relationship with space deepened, forming a bond that only a select few can truly comprehend.

As Collins gazed out of the window, he was captivated by the beauty of Earth, a blue and green oasis in the darkness of space. He could not help but reflect on the fragility and preciousness of our planet, making him realize the importance of cherishing the ones we love.

The love that Collins felt for his fellow astronauts during the mission was profound and unique. In his memoir, he wrote, "I felt an extraordinary sense of love for these humans, my companions on the cutting edge of space exploration. They were all to me, not homesick but Earth-sick, and I wrestled with that pervasive feeling throughout the flight."

It is this sense of love and camaraderie that sets Love You Michael Collins apart from other love stories. Love does not always have to be sealed with a kiss or confined to the realms of Earth. Love can transcend all boundaries, even those of time and space.

While Collins may not have set foot on the moon, his contribution to the Apollo 11 mission was invaluable. He piloted the command module with precision, ensuring the safe return of his fellow astronauts back to Earth. His dedication and selflessness embody the true spirit of exploration and love.

Love You Michael Collins teaches us that love is not limited to the physical presence of a loved one. Love can be felt across vast distances, across galaxies and beyond. It reminds us of the importance of cherishing our loved ones and nurturing the bonds that connect us, even when we are worlds apart.

In , Love You Michael Collins is not just a love story. It is a reminder of the power of love and its ability to transcend all boundaries, even those of space. Michael Collins' journey into the depths of space serves as a poignant symbol of the human desire for exploration and connection. So, let us gaze up at the night sky and marvel at the indomitable spirit of love that continues to inspire us all.

I Love You, Michael Collins

It's 1969 and the country is gearing up for what looks to be the most exciting moment in U.S. history: men landing on the moon. Ten-year-old Mamie's class is given an assignment to write letters to the astronauts. All the girls write to Neil Armstrong ("So cute!") and all the boys write to Buzz Aldrin ("So cool!"). Only Mamie writes to Michael Collins, the astronaut who will come so close but never achieve everyone else's dream of walking on the moon, because he is the one who must stay with the ship. After school ends, Mamie keeps writing to Michael Collins, taking comfort in telling someone about what's going on with her family as, one by one, they leave the house thinking that someone else is taking care of her--until she is all alone except for her cat and her best friend, Buster. And as the date of the launch nears, Mamie can't help but wonder: Does no one stay with the ship anymore? With I LOVE YOU, MICHAEL COLLINS, Lauren Baratz-Logsted has created a heartwarming story about family and being true to yourself.
