spectacular double rescue in Iran. And the great news of American astronauts once again orbiting the moon.

It's great to be an American again.

And like the Founders invoking their Creator in America's Founding documents, on Easter Sunday, the American astronauts once again look to God as they sojourn in space.

Yesterday, or perhaps today as space travel goes, one of the astronauts, Artemis II mission pilot Victor Glover spoke of God and God's connection to all humanity as he looked to the blue jewel of Earth

Praise God!

[jerod]

When you 206,482 miles from in earth in a tin can with a broken toilet... You better praise God.

“….when I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us, who were created…”

If you watch the video, when Captain Glover ended his soliloquy, one astronaut applauded, and all four astronauts put their hands in the middle of their little circle.

God Bless America.

The TV news and news articles are making such a big thing about this space voyage like it’s the most exciting thing ever...

Fact is, most of these breathless reporters and writers weren’t even born when we first landed on the moon surface, walked around, and planted an American flag there...

That occurred 58 years ago....

I've never had a discussion with anyone who's identified him/herself to me to be an atheist but if I ever do one of the things I'll say to him/her is....”OK,explain Jupiter to me”.

I woke my sleeping son who was 1 year old and had him present to see the TV giant steps for mankind taken on the moon.

I doubt if he has any memory of what he actually witnessed on the TV.

Unbelievably, he is now 59. I’m really old

[jerod]

As I recall... Every time we went to the moon we found the same thing... NOTHING!

Pretty sure we’ll find the same thing again when China lands there in another year or two.

[DoodleBob]

No, according to the NASA Artemis II page, he’s listed “Pilot:” https://www.nasa.gov/feature/our-artemis-crew/

Thats like saying Vance is just the Veep.

[beef]

I really like this guy. The libs so want him to play the victim and he isn’t having any of it. He should move to AZ and kick out that rank and file government employee out of the Senate.

[P8riot]

I remember The Apollo 8 Christmas Eve message from the moon in 1968

[Nateman]

...went to the moon we found the same thing... NOTHING!..

The nothing was the vacuum they crossed getting there. They landed on something. Some of them even went out for a drive!

[Nateman]

... TV news and news articles are making such a big thing about this space voyage like it’s the most exciting thing ever...

It was. After over 4 billion years of life on Earth life briefly walked on the Moon . Those of us who were old enough to remember knew it was the most important thing we would ever witness. Then the stinking liberals made us throw it all away for Welfare Queens and other moochers and looters. I'm Glad to have lived long enough to see us return.

Glover has a very interesting C.V. He’s one of the most accomplished of the current astronaut corps, and is pretty smart. One of his commanders gave him the nickname “Ike”, which he said stood for “I Know Everything”.
