Buzz Aldrin's humble act of worship inspirational

Apollo 11, NASA’s first manned mission to land on the Moon, launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., on July 16, 1969. Four days later, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the lunar surface and proclaimed, “One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.”

While the first activities by man outside the Apollo 11 lunar module were broadcast and publicized, one of man’s first acts on the moon’s surface – a religious observance that took place inside the lunar module – was kept very private.
