Best Answer

The Lunar Module (LM) lifted off from the moon's surface and docked with the orbiting Command Module. They then jettisoned the LM, fired up the rocket on the Service Module (connected to the CM) and coasted back home. Once they go to the Earth they jettisoned the SM, exposing the heat shield on the bottom of the CM and entered the atmosphere, landing in the ocean where they were picked up by helicopter and flown to a Navy ship.
