The Modules Had To Split Up
The mission entered a crucial phase just three hours after the spacecraft was launched. What we’re talking about is the separation of the modules from the rocket. In order to move into the right configuration, the Columbus module had to detach from Eagle. In order to launch a journey to the moon, these two components were successfully reassembled. To reach lunar orbit, the astronauts only traveled for a little more than two days. The entire world watched in fascination as the expedition continued.

Flying Close To The Surface
Armstrong and Aldrin entered Eagle on the morning of July 20th, leaving Collins alone in lunar orbit. They prepared to fly the lunar module to the surface of the moon. They had already circled the satellite roughly twelve times before it was time to land. This was an important step in the journey.
