Description
Religious traditions and experiences of the Apollo astronauts became catalysts for public engagement about our place in the cosmos, the separation of church and state, and being “heavenly minded” while on Earth. The realities of religious practice in space continue to pose interesting questions for logistics and physics, as well as for the future of humanity.
