Correction at "Masses" in Description
[edit]It should be: "Total at beginning of Descent" or "mission payload", "total at end of descent", and "total at ascent" the "total" in the Mass description its disturbing... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.101.80.225 (talk) 02:16, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
"Depiction in Film and Television".
[edit]Both the LM and CSM are depicted, and well, in the fictional film Apollo_18_(film) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.146.139.203 (talk) 04:47, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
Extended Lunar Module
[edit]I think it would be nice to add a section about the Extended Lunar Module, made larger for the last three missions to carry the rover. 2601:600:8D00:1D0:81E4:C103:F00F:E290 (talk) 04:42, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- The Lunar Module was not made larger. Only the nozzle of the descent engine was extended to generate more thrust. This and a modified descent schema enabled a higher weight. Thomas Weise (talk) 13:44, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

- A section on the Extended LM might be a good idea. There were actually numerous changes, mostly geared toward extending the payload capacity of the LM, extended the time it could stay on the surface, and accommodating the Lunar Roving Vehicle. The changes are outlined in the Apollo 15 Mission Report on page 252 of the PDF (which corresponds to page number 245 in the document):

- Thomas: I admit to being a newbie and never having edited a Wikipedia article. I can write a summary of the changes, if you would be willing to help answer questions about putting them in place. Mschulm (talk) 10:34, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
Questions on the under construction pics in media
[edit]I noticed the entry is round, not square. The "ribs" patterns doesn't match between the photos. All photos were uploaded by the same user. I suspect these are AI generated, and not authentic photos.76.234.234.229 (talk) 16:50, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
- The round hatch is not wrong or a sign for an AI generated image. Indeed the first development version of the LM had a circular hatch design, which caused trouble during testing - the astronauts didn't fit through it when wearing their spacesuits. Therefore, the later production model had a rectangular, wider hatch.Lolle42 (talk) 16:37, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
