From space, Artemis II astronauts remember their Creator as they orbit on Easter

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker

"The astronauts look upon their place in the universe with humility toward their Creator, just as previous astronauts did.

"A 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:

"According to Space.com

: "You guys are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe," Glover said." . . .

Apollo 8's Christmas Eve 1968 Message   "Apollo 8, the first manned mission to the moon, entered lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1968. That evening, the astronauts--Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders--held a live broadcast from lunar orbit, in which they showed pictures of the Earth and moon as seen from their spacecraft. They ended the broadcast with the crew taking turns reading from the book of Genesis."
