There were microfilm bibles placed on the moon also. One Rev. John Stout and his wife started that project after their friend Ed White died on the pad on Apollo 1.

These days 0bama and Holder would be "investigating" him for conducting a CHRISTIAN service.

It’s altogether fitting that this joker — who calls Aldrin a “coward” and “liar” — has the initials BS.

You’re welcome. It’s wonderful to know of the reverence of God these men had, especially after being so close to part of his creation that most of us will never know.

Were it up to the vast majority of modern day “journalists” theyd spike this story in a Detroit Second.
