Today's NASA factoid

Buzz Aldrin was a firm Presbyterian Christian and had communion on the Moon. However it was kept secret from the public as Nasa was fighting a lawsuit by atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair who objected to the Apollo 8 crew reading from the Book of Genesis. Aldrin's communion kit was prepared by the pastor of his church.

Excerpted from: The Daily Mail

Solo-communion seems a bit. although not entirely, self-contradictory. It's an interesting note none-the-less.

Go back 40 years, and Apollo 11 was somewhere in transit between the earth and the moon. That... and a certain Singaporean was wearing diapers.

Unfortunately, I don't that Google's lunar base is hiring anymore. Otherwise, sign me up to go.
