What Michael Collins Said Before He Died About Apollo 11 Was Classified Until Now
Part 1
It began in New York City, in the archives of a private aerospace research institute, when a previously classified recording surfaced, containing words spoken by Michael Collins shortly before his death. The recording had been kept under wraps for decades, locked away due to national security concerns, but now American historians, scientists, and volunteers were finally granted access. Dr. Alan Pierce, leading the review, realized immediately that Collins’ comments about the Apollo 11 mission were far more revealing than previously understood, containing insights into the mission, the astronauts, and the hidden technological and political dimensions.
