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.

What was the craft neil Armstrong traveled in to the moon?
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.

What does a lunar module pilot do?
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.
What are the two parts of the spacecraft Apollo 11?
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.
