Most of the huge Saturn V rocket used in the Apollo 11 mission was destroyed. This was all planned as most of the rocket ship was just a container for the enormous amount of fuel necessary for the mission. The only parts that actually went to the moon were the command module, the service module and the lunar module... altogether not much bigger than a bus - all that remained from a Saturn V rocket ship that was over 360ft in height. The base of the Lunar module is still resting on the moon, on the Apollo 11 landing site after acting as a launchpad for the lunar module on its return from the moon. The lunar module itself was crashlanded on the surface after it was dispensed with. The service module was detached from the command module on entry to the earth's atmosphere and burned up on re-entry into the atmosphere. The command module, containing the 3 astronauts, was the only part to return. This is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum, Washington DC, USA.
