Erm, Jerm.
In 1969, Apollo 11 was on top of a Saturn V rocket.
Your picture is of a Space Shuttle, with its External Tank and two Solid Rocket Boosters. These were in operation from 1981 to 2011.
Clever juxtaposition, otherwise.

“On a barge” mind you (for safety reasons). And at more than 5x the gravity.
A rocket was never landed on the moon. Always smaller vessels. And even if they ever tried it then it would be much, much easier since its would not be trying to fall at 10 m/s/s

Well spotted. Jerm has kindly updated the cartoon.
