Complete Apollo spacecraft stack: launch escape system, command module, service module, Lunar Module, and spacecraft–LM adapter
The Apollo 17 CSM seen in lunar orbit from the ascent stage of the lunar module
The Apollo spacecraft was composed of three parts designed to accomplish the American Apollo program's goal of landing astronauts on the Moon by the end of the 1960s and returning them safely to Earth. The expendable (single-use) spacecraft consisted of a combined command and service module (CSM) and an Apollo Lunar Module (LM). Two additional components complemented the spacecraft stack for space vehicle assembly: a spacecraft–LM adapter (SLA) designed to shield the LM from the aerodynamic stress of launch and to connect the CSM to the Saturn launch vehicle; and a launch escape system (LES) to carry the crew in the command module safely away from the launch vehicle in the event of a launch emergency.
The design was based on the lunar orbit rendezvous approach: two docked spacecraft were sent to the Moon and went into lunar orbit. While the LM separated and landed, the CSM remained in orbit. After the lunar excursion, the two craft rendezvoused and docked in lunar orbit, and the CSM returned the crew to Earth. The command module was the only part of the space vehicle that returned with the crew to the Earth's surface.
The LES was jettisoned during launch upon reaching the point where it was no longer needed, and the SLA remained attached to the launch vehicle's upper stage. Two unmanned CSM's, one unmanned LM and one manned CSM were carried into space by Saturn IB launch vehicles for low Earth orbit Apollo missions. Larger Saturn Vs launched two unmanned CSM's on high Earth orbit test flights, the CSM on one manned lunar mission, the complete spacecraft on one manned low Earth orbit mission and eight manned lunar missions. After conclusion of the Apollo program, four CSM's were launched on Saturn IBs for three Skylab Earth orbital missions and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.

RM - the picture you keep showing is the wrong picture. Google lunar module.
To escape from Earth, the astronauts needed the three-stage Saturn V rocket to boost their spacecraft to a velocity of more than 25,000 miles per hour. The lunar lander was tucked safely into the top of the third stage, and the astronauts rode in the Apollo command module atop the stack.
The fragile-looking lunar module was just tough enough to keep two astronauts alive and carry them to the surface of the moon. The top half of the vehicle had its own rocket engine, which was fired to lift the astronauts back into lunar orbit to rejoin the command module.

I never said they did.
I am afraid you are hopelessly lost. The picture is from NASA. It's not from Billy Bob or Juan Carlos or Tyrone B. Washington or anybody else.... it is from NASA.... along with a whole other shitload of other BS photos.
There is no disclaimer: "This is just a bad shot or this is a fake one.. " lol. In fact, LMFAO. They could never do that. Go to their website and pull it from their site.
The depths and levels of human denial...
Just look at the picture. Look at the video. Use your eyes. Get past all the years of brainwashing and lies. It's right there for you to see.
Here is the Spaceship R2D2 Super Galactic! An incredible piece of craftsmanship!
Would you believe that? It's no less believable than the other picture or the bullshit lift off.

Denial? I dont know or care if hey landed on the moon. Honestly I haven't thought about the moon landing for 5 minutes i n my entire life. I was just saying the picture you post isn't the picture I see when i google it.
"FACT"
You're just as embarrassing as all the other left wing goofs who have come and gone.
the Mexicans agreed to move faster and more aggressively to deter migrants than they ever have before...Their promise to deploy up to 6,000 national guard troops was larger than their previous pledge.
Oh and nothing, not a single thing, was "codified in March"
"Everything!!"
"FACT!!!"
FACT, you don't know facts
and one thing that is a FACT, you're batting zero zero zero in the political arena since 2012
Another FACT, TDS has consumed you, maybe there's some steroid that can help you overcome this illness, seek medical attention before it's too late
FACT III, it's a process, and at least one president is finally getting things done
FACT, when you're as punch drunk as barbanman has become in recent years, you just start flailing away at anything
So much so, you try to spin a real change in policy and approach into nothing, it's somewhat surreal to be honest
Even Chuck Schmuer said how what Trump is doing is good for the country: https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1137177132172500992
