First Communion on the Moon

Message claims that Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin took communion on the Moon using a special communion kit given to him by his church

While the core information in the message is factual, the claim that NASA deliberately kept Aldrin's communion a secret for two decades appears to be unfounded. Aldrin himself wrote of the communion in a Guideposts Magazine from October 1970, a little over a year after the Moon landing. And as noted in the CBN news quote above, Webster Presbyterian Church of Houston, Texas has openly commemorated Aldrin's moon communion every year since the landing. While it is well documented that NASA opted not to broadcast Aldrin's communion message because of possible legal ramifications, there is no evidence to suggest that it subsequently tried to hide the event for over twenty years. At least, if it was NASA's intention to suppress the information, it was singularly unsuccessful. In fact, Aldrin's communion is even mentioned in NASA's own history of the Apollo missions.
 
It is true that Buzz Aldrin performed a communion service on the Moon during the Apollo 11 landing in July 1969

Besides, if anyone ever gives Buzz shit about this, he'll just smack them around a liitle, like he did with THIS we-never-landed-on-the-moon conspiracy nutcase.
