They got out in space and climbed into the command module. The top of the crafts connected together in space. I wonder how it was possible though, because their suits were so big and it was enough room for the life support units on their back. This answer below is not the correct answer to your question.
The command module and lunar module have a docking bay, the Lunar module at the top of the module itself and the command module at the peak of the cone. the command module is the only part of the command/service module and lunar module that actually returned to earth. The lunar modules were jetisoned after the linkup from the lunar excursion and eventually crash landed on the moon. the service module, once separated from the command module burned up on reentry into the earth's atmosphere when the Earth's gravity caused it's orbit decayed enough. Most of the command modules for the Apollo Lunar Missions are housed in the Smithsonian Air and Space museums in Washington, DC and Dulles, VA. although there are a few in other places (Houston, Florida).
What else can I help you with?
Did the lunar lander return to the command module?
Yes, the lunar lander returned to the command module after completing its mission on the moon. The astronauts aboard the lander transferred back to the command module using the ascent module before heading back to Earth.
How many astronauts go on the moon at a time?
During the Apollo missions, there were typically two astronauts who landed on the moon, while the third stayed in orbit around the moon. The lunar module carried two astronauts to the moon's surface, while the command module pilot remained in orbit.
Which astronaut was not at the Apollo mission 11?
Michael Collins did not walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission. He stayed in lunar orbit aboard the Command Module while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored the lunar surface.
Did Neil go alone to the moon?
No, he went from the earth to lunar orbit with Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Only Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module Eagle with him to the moon's surface while Collins stayed behind in the Command Module orbiting the moon.
Who were the first three astronauts to go to the moon?
The first three astronauts to go to the Moon were Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins, who were part of the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. Armstrong and Aldrin became the first and second humans to walk on the lunar surface, while Collins remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command Module. Their historic mission marked a significant achievement in space exploration.

What is the name of the rocket they flew in to go to the moon?
The booster was the Saturn V (five), the command module was Columbia, the lunar landing module was Eagle.
What did neil armstrong go to the moon in?
The Command Service Module used for Apollo 11 was called Columbia, and the Lunar Module was known as Eagle, after the official bird of the United States of America.
What was the lunar module built for?
to go to space
How did neil Armstrong leave moon to go back to earth?
The Lunar Module (LM) was a spacecraft built in two halves. The bottom half, called the Descent Stage, contained the landing legs, the descent engine and the fuel it needed to burn, all the science equipment the astronauts used on the moon, and extra supplies the astroanuts used while inside the LM between EVA's. The top half, called the Ascent Stage, contained the living area/cockpit for the astronauts, the communication equipment, the computers, the Ascent Engine and the fuel needed to burn it, and storage for the lunar samples being returned to Earth. After the surface mission was over, the astroanuts would pack everything they needed into the top half (the Ascent Stage). At exactly the right time, explosive bolts fired separating the top half from the bottom half. Seconds after that the Ascent engine would fire, essentially using the Descent Stage as a launch pad, returning the crew to orbit, and leaving the Descent Stage on the moon (where they can still be found today). Once in orbit the Ascent Stage would rendezvous with the already-orbiting Command/Service Module (CSM) being piloted by the Command Module Pilot. Once all the crew, equipment, and lunar samples were transferred from the LM Ascent Stage into the CSM the tunnel between the two craft was sealed and the LM was released where it would eventually impact the moon (they did this on purpose, as it would produce a shockwave throughout the moon which was recorded using seismographs left on the surface. This helped NASA scientists examine the interior makeup of the moon). The CSM would then fire its engine for a return trip to the Earth. Once near the Earth the Service Module would be separated from the Command Module (all the supplies and astronauts were stuffed into the tiny Command Module) and the Command Module would reenter the Earth's atmosphere. Once it had slowed down enough parachutes were deployed that allowed the module to splash safely down into the Pacific Ocean where a US Navy ship would fish the crew and then the Command Module itself out of the water and place them on the deck of the ship. From there the crew and their equpiment were transferred back home.
What was the destination for Apollo 9?
Apollo 9 only orbited Earth. It did not go to the moon. It was used to do some tests including a space walk to test the space suits, and trying to connect the command module and lunar module together in space.
How can astronaut's take photo of Neil Arsmstrong in the space?
Buzz Aldrin was also on the Moon with Neil Armstrong. Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin were with Neil Armstrong in the Command Module (the CM orbited the moon while the lunar module landed and took off from the lunar surface). Neil Armstrong did not go to the moon by himself.
Was Michael Collins astronaut afraid to go on the moon?
No it was not that at all, as the Apollo 11 was a three man craft , N.A.S.A chose Neil Armstrong as the commander , and Edwin Aldrin was the lunar module pilot, so Michael Collins had to be the command module pilot.
What happened to Apollo 10?
The astronauts for Apollo 10 were Thomas Stafford, John young and eugene Cernan, the Apollo 10 was to go to the moon and then two would be in the lunar module and one astronaut would be in the command module. They separated and docked in the orbit of the moon. This was the final test before Apollo 11.
