Nice story but communion was the easy part. Getting there was the amazing part.
I like that ! We need to make sure this is passed along since it has been censored in the state run media and state run text book producers.
Amen!
Without God there is no moon shot.
Google "Buzz Aldrin's lunar Communion" gets About 68,400 results (0.42 seconds).
FWIW, I certainly did. It's a mainstay of Apollo 11 lore, and recounted in OF A FIRE ON THE MOON, replete with Mailer's extensive musings on the matter:
... Tribal chief, first noble savage on the moon, he prayed to the powers who had brought him there, whose will he would fulfill - God, the earth, and himself all for this instant part of the lofty engine of the universe, and in that eccentric giant of a character, that conservative of all the roots in all the family trees, who now was ripping up the roots of the ages, that man whose mother's name was Moon, ...
... well, you can read it yourself, if you want to.
Not religious myself, but it is not lost on me. It was still a moving event that Aldrin did so.....

Highly recommend the HBO series “From the Earth to the Moon”. It should be shown in all schools.
” And so the minister consecrated a communion wafer and a small vial of communion wine.”

This is antichrist gibberish!
I didn’t know that Presbys had sunk so far. Is this for real?
Say what?>
“Consecrating” a “Wafer” goes against everything Christ stood for during his Earthly stay.
It’s not the men who consecrate it, it is the Lord himself.
Under the new NASA mandate, by next year it won't be a Christian communion, it will be some Islamic observance performed on the moon.
Believe it or not we learned this in Sunday school right after it happened. Very cool!

No... And the "cup provided by his church" thing is equally suspect. Reformed/Presbyterian do not generally pass the cup... so this would be considered unnecessary.
I would love it if the crew took Communion on the moon. I hope that much is true.
Yeah. But they did it on the islamist´s Moon.
“and state run text book producers”
.
For sure!
We wouldn’t want to lead our kids astray you know...

“I would love it if the crew took Communion on the moon. I hope that much is true.”

I certainly do not believe that the Lord would reject the communion of a true believer, regardles of the humanist shenanigans.
I see it as fitting that the first act on the moon was holy communion - in the face of the pagans that ran the Apollo program.
.
Does this mean they held communion in a movie studio on a secret military base, where the Moon landings were faked?!?
