She Has A Name

In case you didn't know, Lego released two kits commemorating the first Moon landing.

The first set was the entire Saturn V stack of Apollo 11.

The second set is the LEM, Eagle.

They title the second set as "NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander".

These things have so many names.

Lunar Excursion Module.

Apollo Lunar Module.

Several were given names in addition to their designations.

LM-3 Spider, LM-4 Snoopy (trivia note, Snoopy is the only intact, flown LM ascent module), LM-5 Eagle, LM-6 Intrepid, LM-7 Aquarius, LM-8 Antares, LM-10 Falcon, LM-11 Orion, LM-12 Challenger.

The Lego set is LM-5 Eagle.  Eagle is not mentioned even once on the box.  Dunno if it's mentioned in the instructions.
