Re: Retained LM ascent stage



apollo 11s ascent stage wasnt crashed into the moon, it was left
abanndoned in orbit and eventually crashed at a unknown location.

it would of been nice to take 11s LM along to TEI, there was plenty of
capability, and LM could of been placed in heliospheric orbit for
retrieval in the far distant future.
