Postcards From the Moon

The dark, occult, Satanic associations of NASA would be a very hard image to sell to Americans of
the late 1960s and early 1970s. According to the polling company Gallup, in the year 1965, 69% of
Americans identified themselves as Protestant Christians, while an additional 24% identified as
Catholic Christians. That is a total of 93% of Americans, the highest percentage to self-identify as
Christians since Gallup began conducting data on this subject in 1948. The U.S. government, well
aware of the Christian leanings of the populace, made sure to hide the anti-Christian associations of
NASA from the public.

As I look back over the history of the Apollo Space Program, it becomes apparent that NASA has
made it a priority to make the Moon missions appear as attractive to Christians as possible. They
have had great success in deceiving so many because they have manipulated the masses by appealing
to their religious and patriotic biases. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Apollo 8 mission.
Apollo 8 was the first space mission to take mankind beyond low earth orbit. It was the first mission
to carry men to the vicinity of the Moon. It was the first space mission to carry men through the Van
Allen Radiation Belts.

Prior to Apollo 8 man had never traveled even 1,000 miles from the Earth’s surface. Yet, NASA
claims that, in an immense leap forward in human capability, Apollo 8, which launched on
December 21, 1968, traveled 240,000 miles from the Earth to the Moon, orbited the Moon 10 times
in a period of 20 hours, and then returned 240,000 miles to Earth. NASA knew their claims of having
accomplished such an incredible feat would be met with great skepticism. They went to great lengths
to mitigate critical examination of their claims. They sought to engage people emotionally, rather
than rationally.

One way they accomplished this was to schedule the Apollo 8 mission for the precise time of year
when people are most engaged emotionally in their lives, and the most prone to entertain fanciful
th
traditions. The Apollo 8 crew reached lunar orbit on Christmas Eve, December 24 , 1968. As people
from nations around the world were telling tales of Santa Claus and flying reindeer, decorating their
homes with festive lights and savoring the smells of holiday cooking; as people were focused on
giving and receiving gifts, feasting with family and friends, and enjoying the overall holiday cheer,
NASA knew people would be predisposed to positive thoughts, thinking the best of all mankind.

NASA further played up the religious angle during this season when people recite the story of the
birth of Christ and of angels announcing “Peace on Earth, good will to men.” The crew made a
