Wow! I did not know that, thank you, Iโ€™m wearing an Omega Speedmaster right now, and itโ€™s the same hesalite crystal models that Buzz wore as the first watch on the moon. (Armstrong sacrificed his Speedy as a communal watch on the rocket ship after the on board clock malfunctioned).

On a cheap $10 NATO strap no less :) It is a fun lightweight watch to wear. I love it.

'He then took communion privately. At this time NASA was still fighting a lawsuit brought by atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair (who had objected to the Apollo 8 crew reading from the Book of Genesis) demanding that their astronauts refrain from broadcasting religious activities while in space. As such, Aldrin chose to refrain from directly mentioning taking communion on the Moon. Aldrin was an elder at the Webster Presbyterian Church, and his communion kit was prepared by the pastor of the church, Dean Woodruff. Webster Presbyterian possesses the chalice used on the Moon and commemorates the event each year on the Sunday closest to July 20.'

Fucking marxists were there all along, we just never noticed until recently.

I met Mr Aldrin once when I was a kid. He was super nice and even signed a picture for me. I will always remember that.

Ope. There's a lunar landing denier in our midsts, or an atheist (the downvote).

Or just a gigantic faggot who would rather downvote things he doesn't like instead of having a conversation.
