The Apollo Moon Missions took several steps in getting to the Moon. After launch, the craft adopted an initial Earth orbit with an altitude of 99 Nautical miles. The second step, tranlunar injection, carried the craft to the vicinity of the Moon where it was captured into Lunar orbit at an average altitude of 60.3 Nautical miles above the Moon's surface. Of course while orbiting the Moon, the craft could be considered to have been effectively orbiting the Earth at the average altitude of the Moon, about 240,000 miles. The figures are for Apollo 11 and are from Rocky, who has a "flashbulb memory" of watching Neil Armstrong step onto the Moon
