Only 2 people actually land on the moon, the 3rd is the Command Module Pilot who orbits the moon and assist in guidance and navigation. So before landing the 2 pilots will move to the Lunar Module while the 3rd stays in the Command Module. The Lunar Module Pilot will then land the ship on the surface of the moon. Essentially, the 2 crew members begin their departure as they orbit the moon.
