On the Fortieth Anniversary of the Moon Landing: A Celebration of Michael Collins

July 16th, 2009 | published in New and Topical.

NASA Simulator, 1969. NASA image.

I’m with you L.E.M. / Though it’s a shame that it had to be you / The mother ship / Is just a blip on this trip made for two / I’m with you boys / So please employ just a little extra care / It’s on my mind / I’m left behind when I should have been there / Walking with you.

Excerpted from the lyrics to ‘For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me’ by Jethro Tull. Image courtesy NASA via The Big Picture.
