“This picture captures the essence of the Apollo project, two celestial bodies connected by a humantransportation system composed of two very different vehicles. Taken through the window of theCommand Module which has the ability to return through the Earth’s atmosphere at very high speeds,this photograph features the ascent stage of the Lunar Module, the only craft to be able to conveycrewmen from lunar orbit to the surface of the Moon and return them to orbit around the Moon. As theLM was unable to return through the Earth’s atmosphere, it was required to rendezvous and dock with

the Command Module, where the crew could transfer for the return to their Home Planet.”

Neil Armstrong (Jacobs, p. 65).
