People Quarantined Throughout History

Times of quarantine and isolation can give you the freedom to put your brains and talents to work however you want. Or, it can be a time of debilitating difficulties. Here are some people in history who were amazingly productive during quarantine.

We're the Apollo 11 Astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. We landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. Before we took off, though, we were put in quarantine to make sure we didn't take any Earth bugs with us. Then, when we returned, we were quarantined again in case we had picked up some sort of moon plague.
