How many stages did the moon missions had
-
There are so many logical stages. Two or three rocket stages to get into the orbit. A stage to get to the moon and settle on the moons orbit, that makes the mother spaceship. The moon landing ship with a rocket stage to get back to the ship in the orbit when the moon exploration is over. A stage to get back to Earth’s orbit A stage to plunge into the Earth’s atmosphere and land on the ground or in the sea. That’s so many physical bodies.

A stage for the returning heroes to stand on and accept the adoration of the assembled masses.

In that case I think the main stage belongs to the people on the ground who made the mission possible.

Yeah, well no. For Apollo 11, 12 and 14 missions, the astronauts went into a 3 week quarantine after returning, just in case. Though they might have had a stage to stand on after that. I think maybe that would have been somewhat anti-climactic for the astronauts, though.
Keep Calm and Carry On

I'm not so sure - would you sit on the top of what amounts to a tank filled with 120 tons of high explosive, put together on the basis on the lowest of three tenders, and then set fire to it? :omg:
Well as Buzz Aldrin said it focuses your attention...

Which bit is that, mission control on the ground?
