For fuck sake. The image is a test module, not the one that landed on the moon.
This Lunar Module test article combines the Ascent Stage of LTA-1 (LM Test Article-1) with the Descent Stage of LTA-11. The LTAs that formed the backbone of the Grumman Aircraft ground test program for Apollo. LTA-1 and LTA-11 were "house" spacecraft, used to iron out problems during fabrication, assembly, and checkout. Neither stage in the current combination LTA-1A/11D was ever completed lacking skin, landing gear legs, and engines; a mockup descent engine is installed. This LM was transferred to Smithsonian ownership in 1974.
Riddle me this, how do you function in a society that requires a brain? What a fucking 1/2 wit. You should be embarrassed for even asking this. Maybe key on the words "fabrication, assembly and checkout" fuck tard.
Last time this discussion came up on reddit people were like, oh what you are seeing is just the outside insulation layer.
Inside it looks like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/o8hnx.jpg
According to wikipedia, development and construction of this thing cost 20 billion dollars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Lunar_Module
But this doesn't answer the basic question, why is the outside layer so haphazardly slapped together with tape and panel gaps etc ..
This thing looks absolutely ridiculous up close: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/AS11-40-5922_%2821669280671%29.jpg

Riddle me this. How can you test a space anything on earth with gravity?
