The Apollo lunar module was heated electrically. from batteries and an electric fuel cell.
The landing stage was left behind as it was not needed, but more importantly, the lunar module needed to be as light as possible to ensure it could be blasted from the surface with the restricted amount of fuel available.
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.

John Young piloted Apollo 16 Lunar Module named "Orion" to the lunar surface on the moon on April 21, 1972. Young's Lunar Module Pilot for the mission was Charlie Duke who was the Capsule Communicator at Johnson Space Center the day Apollo 11 became the first astronauts to land on the moon. John Young was the Command Module pilot on the Apollo 10 mission which cleared the way for the Apollo 11 landing 2 months later.
There was two parts, the command module and the lunar module. The command module was used to take them to Lunar orbit, and then the Lunar module was used to land them on the Moon. The Lunar module then lifted the astronauts off the Moon and into Lunar orbit. They then docked with the command module and then got rid of the lunar module. Then the final trip home, they were safely inside the command module.
The lunar module of Apollo 11 was called Eagle.
Edwin Aldrin was the Lunar module pilot.
The lunar module pilot is responsible for operating and controlling the lunar module spacecraft during the descent and landing on the moon. They work closely with the commander to ensure a safe touchdown and takeoff from the lunar surface. Additionally, they assist with the navigation, communication, and scientific observations while on the moon.
The two main parts of the spacecraft Apollo 11 were the Command Module (Columbia) and the Lunar Module (Eagle). The Command Module housed the crew during their journey to and from the moon, while the Lunar Module allowed them to land on and take off from the lunar surface.
Of, or pertaining to the moon.
Astronauts entered the Lunar Module through a hatch on the side of the spacecraft. They climbed in feet first and then turned around to be seated for their journey back to the Command Module.
The Apollo Lunar Module was designed to transport astronauts from lunar orbit to the moon's surface and back. It served as the "landing craft" for the Apollo missions, providing a safe way for astronauts to land on the moon, explore its surface, and then return to the Command Module in lunar orbit.
The craft that took astronauts to the moon was called the Apollo spacecraft. It consisted of the command module, service module, and lunar module. The lunar module was the portion that landed on the moon while the command module remained in lunar orbit.
The Apollo Lunar Module was developed in the 1960s as part of the Apollo program by NASA, with the first successful manned landing on the moon occurring on July 20, 1969. The Lunar Module played a crucial role in transporting astronauts from lunar orbit to the moon's surface and back to the command module in orbit.
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.
The lunar module aboard Apollo 13 was named Aquarius.
