The lunar module lands on the moon and it helps as a launch pad for the spacecraft to return to earth.
It means when a rocket leaves its launch pad. "Lift Off!"

It is a little burnt but the launch pad is designed to take extreme heat and pressure created by the space shuttle. If it wasn't, they would have to make a new launch pad every launch and those things are worth a pretty penny...
Launch Pad - card game - happened in 2010-11.
Nasa has two big vehicles called crawlers: the shuttle gets lifted vertically onto the top of these crawlers, attached to the other rockets, then the crawler 'crawls' to the launch "site" where takeoff happens. so technically, the launch "pad" is the top of the crawler, so the shuttle got to the "pad" on a crane, but got to the launch "site" on top of the nasa crawler.
