LM-13, stripped down to its original structure, standing on blocks that position it at the correct tilt that Eagle landed on the moon. Once the Lunar Module is finished, the immediate surrounding area of Tranquility Base will be modelled exactly, with a spacesuited Neil Armstrong at the foot of the ladder. | |
