Real Apollo 11 footage: the Lunar Module Eagle lifts off from the Moon and climbs to dock with the Command Module Columbia—the most underrated “escape” in space history. 🧑‍🚀 The descent stage stays behind, and the ascent stage carries Armstrong and Aldrin back to Michael Collins in lunar orbit—because getting off the Moon was just as risky as landing. 🌕 Watch closely: a tiny blinking craft, a black sky, and one docking that decided whether Apollo 11 was a triumph… or a tragedy. 🚀 #Apollo11 #

Apollo 12’s lunar module rises from the Moon and performs a precise rendezvous with the command module, one of the most demanding maneuvers of the entire mission. Every burn, angle, and timing window had to be exact for the crew to come home. Follow @spaceeves #Apollo12 #MoonMission #SpaceHistory | SpaceEve
