The space history joke we didn't know we needed! Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin get all the Apollo 11 glory while poor Michael Collins (the command module pilot who orbited the moon alone while his colleagues took those famous steps) sits forgotten in the depths of public memory. He literally circled the moon by himself while everyone celebrated the other two. The skeleton at the bottom is the perfect representation of how Collins is treated in space history - completely submerged and forgotten despite being absolutely crucial to the mission's success. Justice for command module pilots everywhere!
