@neilarmstrongsson795 Their space suits were not fragile. It had many layers. If it did spring a leak, it would be the coolant layer. And even if there were an air leak, they could get back to the LM easily.

@shieldsluck1969 What you're seeing is the sun/radiation outer shield. Apollo space helmets were a bubble of some polymer. The mirrored face shield is because the sun is very bright where there is no atmosphere.

Spending 3 days on the surface of the moon is impressive. Especially considering that it's 3 days from Earth. I made 9 day hiking trips into the wilderness. But I didn't need to bring my own air, and it was just 15km not 1 million km.

@SpaceTime773 Round trip its 760000 km, plus they orbit both the Earth and the Moon several times. So the distance each astronaut travels is over 1 million km.
