On: The forgotten astronaut of Apollo 11

[DannoHung]

Mike Collins has a marketing problem: his name's too boring. He should have immediately commissioned someone to name a Tom Collins derivative drink after him when he got back from the mission.

I mean, seriously, you go and do a job with two guys named Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. And you wonder why people forget your name.

Yeah, if Bootsy Collins had orbited the moon nobody would ever have forgotten it.

As it was, it took Frank Zappa to figure out the marketing angle and name his child "Moon Unit".

[DannoHung → mechanical_fish]

Yeah, the only problem with that is that Bootsy Collins has been way higher than the moon. He's completely out of this galaxy.

Buzz legally changed his name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzz_Aldrin#Biography
