They used up the last of their fuel in the Earth's atmosphere. At that point they were already well within the gravity field of the Earth, so they simply fell to the surface.
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon in 1969, whereas rockets are the vehicles used to propel spacecraft into space. Apollo 11 specifically was the mission that carried astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the Moon and successfully landed Armstrong and Aldrin on its surface.
A Rocket
The rocket pushes back on the gas.

I think a electric pocket rocket is better
Neil Milligan Clark has written: 'The gas turbine'
A hybrid rocket is the rocket with a rocket motor that uses propellants in two different states of matter; one liquid or gas and one solid.
Newton's third law is that every action has a reaction that is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. So, for a rocket, the rocket releases force in the backward direction (in the opposite direction it is moving) which enables it to go forward. You can try this at home using a balloon and a string.
Rockets have an exhaust of hot gas, moving rapidly away from the rocket, which is the action, and the reaction is that the rocket is propelled forward.
Well, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so when the gas pushes against the ground, the ground "pushes" back, forcing the rocket upwards.
Your pocket rocket is leaking gas because your fuel line is not switched off or you need to clean your carburetor you might need a new one.
The rocket is pushed forwards by the reaction to the force ejecting gas in the opposite direction to the direction of travel of the rocket. Rocket flight is an example of Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that every action (force) has an equal and opposite reaction. In this case, the action is the ejection of rocket gas and the reaction is the forward force on the rocket.
