The Lunar Module is built strictly to fly in the vacuum of space. It is divided into the descent stage which touches down on the lunar surface and has life support and other mechanical systems (and in some cases, the lunar rover), and the ascent stage with room for two astronauts and controls. At the conclusion of the lunar surface activities, the descent stage remained on the Moon as the launchpad, and only the ascent stage flew back to the lunar orbit to rendezvous with the rest of the Apollo spaceship; afterwards, the ascent stage was discarded and crashed into the Moon (except for Apollo 10, whose Lunar Module, Snoopy, went into solar orbit).
Fifteen Lunar Modules were commissioned for the Apollo program, of which twelve were completed to flight-ready status. Of those, this is the second one built, originally intended for a second unmanned test in Earth orbit (following the first one's unmanned test on Apollo 5), but as the first test had been successful, it was unused and preserved. The ninth Lunar Module was also unused and preserved. Among the used Lunar Modules, Nos. 1 (Apollo 5), 3 (Apollo 9), and 7 (Apollo 13, where it served as the lifeboat for the crippled command module) burned up in the Earth's atmosphere, Nos. 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 12 were used for successful lunar landings (10-12 were redesigned to hold the Lunar Rover), and No. 4 was the Apollo 10 mission.
During the early design phase, the Lunar Module was known as the Lunar Excursion Module, though due to the word "excursion" sounding rather frivolous, the name was shortened. However, the acronym LEM, simply pronounced as a word, stayed, out of the engineers' habit, and the Lunar Module continued to be referred to as "lem" all the way to the end of the Apollo program.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.

Apollo, the God of Light and Wisdom is here depicted as a young, muscular and handsome standing man. This statue was found in a good condition in the Northern Monumental Nymphaeum in 1971. Carrying his chlamys over his left shoulder and standing at rest. The weight of the statue is supported by the tree trunk carved by his right leg, his left hand rests upon his hip.

Apollo (Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek: Ἀπόλλων, Apollōn (gen.: Ἀπόλλωνος); Doric: Ἀπέλλων, Apellōn; Arcadocypriot: Ἀπείλων, Apeilōn; Aeolic: Ἄπλουν, Aploun; Latin: Apollō) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in ancient Greek and Roman religion, Greco–Roman Neopaganism, and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.
As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius, yet Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague. Amongst the god's custodial charges, Apollo became associated with dominion over colonists, and as the patron defender of herds and flocks. As the leader of the Muses (Apollon Musegetes) and director of their choir, Apollo functioned as the patron god of music and poetry. Hermes created the lyre for him, and the instrument became a common attribute of Apollo. Hymns sung to Apollo were called paeans.
I tried to describe as accurately as possible the different structures you can see here.
The Apollo 11 landing site is also figured out : in the southern mare tranquillitatis selected because it was a relatively flat and smooth area.

The hatch door from the Apollo 11 command module Columbia. NASA completely redesigned the hatch after the fatal Apollo 1 fire. To ensure a quick escape, astronauts could use the large pump handle on the left and open it from inside the capsule within seconds. This was one of the images on display at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.
Mid and rear sections mated and a quick look inside the cabin of the ascent module. There's no way to escape the conclusion that it was a very cramped environment for two people to live and work.

1973 Klaus Baess Apollo TT Deluxe. Built in Copenhagen, this well-laid out efficient trawler is a perfect candidate for anyone looking to run the great loop, or cruise the bay. She has two like new perkins M92 diesel engines installed in 2006 with very low hours. She sips fuel and maneuvers like a dream as a result. She is also fitted out with an aft cabin and Air Conditioning. She has beautiful lines and would make a fantastic cruiser for a couple or small family. Asking $18,000

The Capitoline Museums complex (Musei Capitolini) in Rome has one of the finest collections of sculptures, statues, and archaeological finds from antiquity in the world, in addition to paintings and art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. Top highlights are very rare large Roman bronze sculptures such as the original equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, Boy with a Thorn, and the Capitoline She-Wolf (and the much more recent Romulus and Remus). The paintings collection includes works by Caravaggio, Titian, Rubens, Van Dyck, and many other European masters. Although the museum is rarely overcrowded, buying tickets online saves time.
Apollo 17 Mission
c. December 12, 1972
“Sizes and distances are notoriously difficult to judge on the Moon, caused by the lack of atmospheric haze, the absence of common objects like trees or buildings, and a horizon that is closer than Earth’s. A photo like this can provide a sense of scale by incorporating objects of known size.”

Apollo 13 was to be the third mission to land on the Moon. An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks crippled the spacecraft during flight and the crew were forced to orbit the Moon and return to the Earth without landing.
Vatican Museum, Rome, 9 juni 2009
The Apollo Belvedere or Apollo of the Belvedere — also called the Pythian Apollo[1] — is a celebrated marble sculpture from Classical Antiquity. It was rediscovered in the late 15th century, during the Renaissance. From the mid-18th century, it was considered the greatest ancient sculpture by ardent neoclassicists and for centuries epitomized ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans and westernized parts of the world.
The white marble sculpture, which is 2.24 m (7.3 feet) high, depicts the Greek god Apollo, who has just overtaken the serpent Python, the cthonic serpent of Delphi. The arrow has just left his bow and the effort impressed on his musculature still lingers. His hair, lightly curled, flows in ringlets down his neck and rises gracefully to the summit of his head, which is encircled with the strophium, a band symbolic of gods and kings. His quiver is suspended across his left shoulder. He is entirely nude except that his robe (chlamys) is clasped at his right shoulder and is turned up only on his left arm and thrown back.
The lower part of the right arm and the left hand were missing when discovered and were restored by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli (1506-63), a sculptor and pupil of Michelangelo.
The moment when Apollo has shot his death-dealing arrow may have been at the slaying of Pytho, the primordial serpent guarding Delphi, making the sculpture a "Pythian Apollo", or at the slaying of Tityos, who threatened Leto.

Vaticaanse musea, Rome
De Apollo Belvedere is een van beroemdste voorstellingen van Apollo. Het huidige beeld in het Vaticaan, een Romeinse kopie van een origineel uit de 4e eeuw v. Chr., werd aan het eind van 15e eeuw ontdekt en had direct een enorme invloed op de uitbeelding van het mannelijk naakt.
