The descent starts on the far side of the moon, which puts the lunar module about 50,000 feet above the lunar surface at the landing site. After orbiting the moon one more time, the astronauts begin a 7 minute burn down to the surface of the moon itself. From the first firing of their engine to touchdown is apporximately 135 minutes.
