Description: The journey to the moon and successful landing on the lunar surface. One of the astronauts stayed in orbit in the Command/Service Module (CSM) and the other two astronauts landed on the moon in the Lunar Module (LM).

If anything went wrong (such as leaking fuel) they would have to attempt to take off ASAP. I'm not entirely sure what color the flame on the LM descent engine really was...but blue made it look awesome! If anyone knows for sure - please let me know in the comments!
