Here are some images of Dragon's 1/48 scale Grumman LM (Lunar Module) Eagle used in the Apollo 11 landing. From Wikipedia" The Apollo Lunar Module (LM), also known as the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program by Grumman to carry a crew of two from lunar orbit to the surface and back. Six such craft successfully landed on the Moon between 1969–1972. The LM, consisting of an Ascent stage and Descent stage, was ferried to lunar orbit by its companion Command/Service Module (CSM), a separate spacecraft of approximately twice its mass, which took the astronauts home to Earth. After completing its mission, the LM was discarded. In one sense it was the world's first true spacecraft in that it was capable of operation only in outer space, structurally and aerodynamically incapable of flight through the Earth's atmosphere. The LM got a later start on its design than the CSM, due to the initial unpopularity of the lunar orbit rendezvous strategy. Its development was also plagued with several hurdles which delayed its first unmanned flight by about ten months, and its first manned flight by about three months. Despite this, the LM eventually became the most reliable component of the Apollo/Saturn system, the only one never to suffer any failure that significantly impacted a mission,[1] and in at least one instance (LM-7 Aquarius) greatly exceeded its design requirements by maintaining life support for astronauts after an explosion damaged the Apollo Service Module. Lunar Modules produced Serial number Name Use Launch date Current location LM-1 Apollo 5 January 22, 1968 Reentered Earth's atmosphere LM-2 Intended for second unmanned flight; not used On display at the National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC LM-3 Spider Apollo 9 March 3, 1969 Reentered Earth's atmosphere LM-4 Snoopy Apollo 10 May 18, 1969 Descent stage impacted Moon; Ascent stage in solar orbit. Snoopy is the only surviving flown LM ascent stage. LM-5 Eagle Apollo 11 July 16, 1969 Descent stage on lunar surface; Ascent stage left in lunar orbit (orbit decayed: impact location on moon unknown) LM-6 Intrepid Apollo 12 November 14, 1969 Descent stage on lunar surface; Ascent stage deliberately crashed into Moon LM-7 Aquarius Apollo 13 April 11, 1970 Reentered Earth's atmosphere LM-8 Antares Apollo 14 January 31, 1971 Descent stage on lunar surface; Ascent stage deliberately crashed into Moon LM-9 Not flown (originally intended as Apollo 15, last H-class mission) On display at the Kennedy Space Center (Apollo/Saturn V Center) LM-10 Falcon Apollo 15, first ELM July 26, 1971 Descent stage on lunar surface; Ascent stage deliberately crashed into Moon LM-11 Orion Apollo 16 April 16, 1972 Descent stage on lunar surface; Ascent stage left in lunar orbit, eventually crashed on Moon LM-12 Challenger Apollo 17 December 7, 1972 Descent stage on lunar surface; Ascent stage deliberately crashed into Moon LM-13 Not flown (originally intended as Apollo 18)[11] Partially completed by Grumman; restored and on display at Cradle of Aviation Museum, Long Island, New York. Also used during HBO's 1998 mini-series From the Earth to the Moon. LM-14 Not flown (originally intended as Apollo 19) Never completed; unconfirmed reports claim that some parts (in addition to parts from test vehicle LTA-3) are included in LM on display at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia (see Franklin Institute web page.)

LK lander for the L3 project | Story, illustrations and photography by Anatoly Zak
The LK ("Lunniy Korabl" - Lunar Vehicle) was the Soviet lunar lander - the Russian counterpart of the American LM Lunar Module. The LK was to have landed a Soviet citizen on the moon before the Americans, winning the moon race. Because the trans-lunar payload of the Russian N1 rocket was only 70% that of the American Saturn V, the LK differed in many ways from the LM. It had a different landing profile; it was only 1/3 the weight of the LM; it was limited to a crew of one; it had no docking tunnel (the cosmonaut had to space walk from the LK to the LOK lunar orbiter). Unlike the LM, the LK did not use a separate descent stage to go from lunar orbit to landing on the surface. A braking stage, the Block D, took the LK out of lunar orbit and slowed it to 100 m/s at an altitude of 4 km above the lunar surface. From there the LK used the engines of its Block E stage to soft land on the moon. The Block E also served as the ascent stage to return the LK to lunar orbit.

This system activation checklist was used by astronaut and Lunar Module Pilot, Neil Armstrong, on Apollo 11 in July 1969.
On July 20, 1969, my family gathered around our 60's model TV to watch man's first landing on the moon. Taken with my current camera from an old slide, this shot shows the our TV screen as the words flashed "Lunar Module Has Landed On Moon." It also happened to catch my father and mother reflected on the screen watching the events unfold. My reflection was hidden by the module as I took the picture with my Minolta SRT 101. Not quite as old as the shot of my grandmother, but an interesting little slice of history. See Grandma's picture in the comments below.
