Barry miller helped build the lunar landing module the eagle that Neil Armstrong used to land on the moon.
The Apollo 12 lunar module, which made the second landing on the moon, was named Intrepid.
The first Apollo moon landing was filmed by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin using a specially designed camera mounted on the lunar module. The footage was transmitted back to Earth and broadcast live to millions of viewers.
Yes, there is a Lunar Module at the Smithsonian, which never flew. No lunar modules which landed on the moon ever made it back to earth.

i dont know the answer
These were some of the first words uttered by Neil Armstrong after the Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon in 1969. The full quotation is "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." The first words uttered on the moon were actually Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saying "Contact light!," followed by a brief exchange of technical jargon related to shutting down the engines of the lunar module.
For a successful lunar mission, weight had to be kept to a minimum. The lunar module was designed to be as lightweight as possible--using aluminum for structural support instead of the heavier steel alloys. Since the moon has only 1/6th the gravity as Earth, a lunar module would be very flimsy on Earth's surface, maybe not even able to support itself. But on the moon, it was more than strong enough to accomplish its mission.
It was made for the first American astronauts to keep there feet to the floor while landing the Lunar module, also came in handy for keeping items such as pens and flight plans from floating around in the cabin.
A lunar module is a small craft that is used as an orbiting spacecraft and to travel between the moon's surface. It was the first man-made vehicle that was able to leave outside the earth's atmosphere.
The Sea of Tranquility was chosen as the landing site for Apollo 11 because it is a relatively flat and smooth area on the Moon's surface, which reduced the risk of landing complications. Additionally, it provided a safe and stable location for the lunar module to touch down and explore. The site's smoother terrain also made it easier for the astronauts to move around and collect samples.
