Corrected entry: In one of the first shoots on the moon, a Apollo moon lander is visible as a relic of the Apollo missions. However, the complete lander module consisting of the ascent AND descent modules is shown; which would mean the crew of the Apollo-mission in question would have never left the moon again.

Correction: While the mistake is technically correct, that a lunar lander observed on the moon today wouldn't have an ascent stage, this particular lunar lander [probably Apollo 15, judging by its upper hemisphere location] had a big structure built around it, and has been cordoned off, so in all likelihood the builders of the prison restored the ascent stage to the lander. Or it's a secret mission and the astronauts helped build the prison, and thus the ascent stage was never used. Or it's just a replica, like many museums on Earth have. [Transformers: Dark of the Moon made this same mistake, but with a landing site that wouldn't have been altered by subsequent visits.]
