Are there any videos or photos of the interior of the lunar module on the moon?
I'd really like to see how they got in and out of it and how they slept in the LEM during the longer, later Missions. By the way, how was life in those 3 day missions? |

Mopc: If you go to the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/frame.html you should find heaps about the lunar module and life on board. For instance, if you go to the Apollo 11 section alone, this link http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11LM5structures.html leads you to a 5Mb PDF file of drawings. It's probably a good idea to read the summary for each mission first, then study all the links for info about the LM. I know that a few protraits were taken on board the LM while the astronauts were on the moon, and plenty of photos were taken out the windows and showed parts of the LM, but I'm not aware of any being deliberately taken of the interior while on the moon. It's unlikely that there was a reason to do so, but if I'm wrong, other BABBers will no doubt correct me. By the way, the correct abbreviation is LM, something which quite a few hoax believers and promoters get wrong. It was originally called the Lunar Excursion Module but later changed to Lunar Module (though the "lem" pronunciation was kept), possibly because some bright spark pointed out that it wasn't actually going to do any excurdging on the lunar surface. ![]() |

There's a plastic bag visible beside the LM on the lunar surface in one of the Apollo 11 photos. It's AS11-40-5850 (Apollo 11 page 2, "Armstrong's first photo after setting foot on the moon") on http://www.apolloarchive.com/apollo_gallery.html. Is that what's in the bag? Solid human waste?
I thought the solid waste was brought back to earth, or discarded with the ascent module.

On second thought, that makes no sense. The photo was taken shortly after landing, and it makes no sense to transport waste produced during the trip from earth down to the surface. The bag must contain something else.
I think I'll stop elaborating, before I use graphic terminology that'll get me banned.
