Apparently it doesn't work on Earth though as they launched on a multi-stage rocket. Why didn't they need that on the other planets?


Multi-stage rockets are used to conserve the volume of fuel storage space needed on the craft. It is not unthinkable that they would have used a mutistage rocket to launch the craft into space initially if only to conserve the amount of fuel storage space needed on board.

Plus, when they landed on planets, it was not the entire assembly landing on planets, just a small away vehicle. It is not unthinkable that they would have departed utilizing multi-stage rockets to conserve volume on the craft AND brought along enough fuel to explore multiple worlds with the away vehicle.
