Lunar Landing Module

Apollo Expeditions to the Moon: Chapter 4
"the lunar module (LM, pronounced LEM, which had actually been its designation - for lunar excursion module - until someone decided that the word "excursion" might lend a frivolous note to Apollo). LM was the first true spaceship; it was hidden in a cocoon during the launch through the atmosphere because it could operate only in the vacuum of space. Built by Grumman in Bethpage, New York (another of my many homes away from home),"

I watched these films on TV specials and news programmes when I was a little kid in 1965. In 1964, when I went to the New York WOrld's Fair with my family, we used the first mainframe-computer-terminals they had set up thru the whoe exposition, and they still have the Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows, where they had a lot on the new space efforts. It was a super-exciting time! The moon-landing was the culmination, and it would have gone on, and then to Mars, if Nixon had'nt cut NASA's budget.

There was no blast crater because the engine on the LM throttled down to a min thrust to land.You don't use full thrust to land,(only hollywod does that. A car with a hemi engine doesn't park in the garage at 120mph it slows down (unless you are my ex girl friend) ..Moon landings real as advertised.

notice the blast crater, whatever happened to that theory haha

You can't see hypergolic exhaust in daylight, expecially in the blinding daylight of outer space at 1 AU.
