A little more perspective
NASA’s 1994 spacecraft table lists a 3.5-meter Apollo command module and a 7.5-meter service module. Their sum gives this approximate 11-meter assembled reference. A separate NASA historical report describes the mated assembly as just over 36 feet, consistent with the rounded metric value.
This comparison follows the assembled spacecraft’s longitudinal axis, from the forward command-module end to the service-module engine end. The lunar module, launch escape tower and Saturn launch vehicle are separate assemblies. The illustration selects the closed service-module appearance of the early Block II lunar missions.
