Answer 1

The command module of Apollo 11 remained in orbit, while the lunar module took 2 astronauts to the moon’s surface. When they left the moon, they only needed enough fuel to launch the lunar module back into the moon’s orbit, where it docked with the command module. Apollo 11 then returned to Earth
