Because the fuel burned off.
You need to stand far away from a shuttle launch to ensure safety in case of an explosion or malfunction. The intense heat and pressure generated by the launch can be dangerous, and standing at a distance minimizes the risk of harm from any debris.
Apollo 13 spacecraft was near to the moon and they were shortly going to separate from the Apollo craft. that Lunar module. But it happened before they had separated.
No you can not see the moon landing sites with your naked eye from earth.
A space shuttle launch can typically be seen from about 30-50 miles away, depending on atmospheric conditions and visibility. However, large rockets or unique lighting effects might make them visible from even further distances.
Not very far. The International Space Station is in an orbit about 350 km (217 miles) above the earth's surface ... roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The moon is about 1,100 times as far away, and the sun is about 425,000 times as far away.

Eliminate the Impossible- nothing in the film was beyond probability except possibly the alien attack, whatever is left standing, however improbable, Must be the Truth- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, known as Doyle"s postulates.

Apollo 12 traveled to the moon and back to earth.
The 27 Apollo program astronauts all went as far as Lunar orbit. Nobody has every been farther away from Earth than that.
