Description
Responsible for carrying all three astronauts and the Lunar Module into lunar orbit, the Apollo Command Module played a vital role in the Apollo 11 landings. The Command Module was 36 feet tall and was less than 13 feet wide. Having taken off from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on July 16, 1969, it delivered its passengers to their destination in just four days. On their return to Earth, the three astronauts had to spend 21 days in quarantine to ensure they hadnt contracted a moon disease. Once finally released, a parade and state dinner were hosted on August 13th to celebrate the missions success. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy had committed to seeing a man land safely on the moon within a decade, and thus his promise to the World had been achieved.
