Real Apollo 11 footage: the Lunar Module Eagle lifts off from the Moon and climbs to dock with the Command Module Columbia—the most underrated “escape” in space history. 🧑‍🚀 The descent stage stays behind, and the ascent stage carries Armstrong and Aldrin back to Michael Collins in lunar orbit—because getting off the Moon was just as risky as landing. 🌕 Watch closely: a tiny blinking craft, a black sky, and one docking that decided whether Apollo 11 was a triumph… or a tragedy. 🚀 #Apollo11 #
