Pardon me, please, if youre familiar with this terrific story, but I never knew it: Former astronaut Edwin Buzz Aldrin celebrated the Lords Supper on the moon 44 years ago, on July 20.
Aldrin was an elder at Webster Presbyterian Church near Houston. According to Londons Daily Mail, a Presbyterian General Assembly gave Aldrin permission to administer communion to himself on the moon, using a small plastic container of wine and some bread.

Gene Cernan on Apollo 17 also (Catholic)
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.
It's past time to quit turning the other cheek and STRIKE BACK!
Thanks ReformationFan, extra to APoD.
I hadnt previously known this
Thanks for posting the article.
It’s altogether fitting that this joker — who calls Aldrin a “coward” and “liar” — has the initials BS.

Salute to Buzz!
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.
