The Apollo 8 reading from Genesis ended up with NASA being sued by athiests.

When Buzz Aldrin, a Deacon in his church, wanted to take Communion on the Moon, Deke Slayton ok’d it but told him to keep quiet about it. There’s been some question even about whether Armstrong knew Buzz was going to do that until after they landed.

If I remember correctly, it was Madalyn Murray O’Hair who threw the caterwauling fit over this.

One of the astronauts said he had no problem of her reading her rebuttal from orbit in space. Just come on up!
