The Modules Had To Split Up
Just three hours after the spacecraft was launched, the mission entered a critical phase. The separation of the modules from the rocket is what we’re talking about. The Columbus module had to detach from Eagle in order to shift into the proper configuration. These two components were successfully rebuilt in order to launch a mission to the moon. The astronauts only traveled for a little more than two days to reach lunar orbit. As the expedition progressed, the entire globe watched in awe.

Flying Close To The Surface
On the morning of July 20th, Armstrong and Aldrin entered Eagle, leaving Collins alone in lunar orbit. They were getting ready to launch the lunar module to the moon’s surface. Before it was time to land, they had circled the satellite around twelve times. This was a critical juncture in the journey.
