The Earth's Moon

The Earth's Moon: "The Earth's one natural satellite, the Moon, is more than one quarter the size of Earth itself (3,474 km diameter). Because of its smaller size, the Moon's gravity is one-sixth of the Earth's gravity, as we saw demonstrated by the giant leaps of the Apollo astronauts."

...makes you think how did they ever get them little pods off the moon then have enough juice to rendevouz with the re-entry vehicle?

Also if those tiny bells ... mostly just the nose cones of the end of the rocket had enough energy to power them to the moon, why didn't they ever take a shuttle flight for a spin around the moon?
