>Earth's gravity was litterally pullling them from there then?
Yes. Gravity doesn't just "stop" because you're far away from something. That's why the moon orbits the Earth rather than flying on its own in space.

>That's why they didn't even need too much fuel?
Yes. All the Apollo spacecraft had to do was to get far enough away from the moon for its gravity to be much smaller than the Earth, and then let the Earth pull them back to Earth.

>Are you talking about pic related?
Yes.

Thank you, anon, and thank you lunar rover!

IMO this vehicule is the absolute apogee of the apollo mission.

Did they had a procedure in case of rover failure? Consider 5km by feet on lunar surface?
