The rover looks a bit warped here due to the heli’s fish eye lens and it being in the corner. More to come!

A day after his passing, a petition is asking NASA to change the name of the coming "Lunar Gateway" to the "Collins Lunar Gateway"

The Lunar Gateway will be a space station in orbit around the Moon that will provide staging for all future lunar astronauts in the Artemis Program. Before they descend to the surface of the Moon, they will all pass through the Gateway.

Michael Collins was one of the three astronauts aboard Apollo 11, the mission that landed the first men on the Moon. However, Michael Collins did not descend to the surface. He remained alone in orbit for the entirety of his fellow astronauts' trip to the surface. He orbited the Moon for nearly 21 and a half hours by himself.

It is, for this reason, why we believe the Lunar Gateway should be renamed after him. He watched as his fellow astronauts descended onto the surface, just as many astronauts will do from the Gateway in the future.
