If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Is a fantastic terrific shot  :D

But Isn't the eagle is backwards at that altitude ,while is descending on the tranquilly sea? or maybe you took the spinning of the module to stop and decend  ::)

Thanks for all the comments so far for such a little time posted  ;D ;D

but alrot the LM is the correct way up for that altitude. The pic i found was taken from a CSM during one of the apollo mission i forget which one but one of them.
