Mmmmh, the penny has dropped, took a while. The reason for showing the return from the moon is that within JFKs original statement of intent, the mission was not only to land a man on the moon but also to return him safely to Earth.

Thanks again for your interest, have a look at TanDog's Saturn5! if you havnt already.
