The traditions around the birth of Jesus Christ often obscure the actual facts. What happened historically and astronomically was much more impressive than our traditions indicate. A brilliant ‘star’ appeared that struck fear into the heart of Herod and all Jerusalem. Why? What was it? Was it Real?

What happened in the heavens was so remarkable the Roman world thought the heavens themselves were applauding Caesar. And the date of Jesus’ birth? Between the Bible and historical events it can be determined to within a few days.

Things You Weren’t Told About The First Moon Landing

NOW AVAILABLE

Forty years ago this month two men walked on the Moon. This is the untold story of what went wrong and what we weren’t told. David Reneke has unearthed dozens of amazing facts from previously classified CIA files and talks he had with Buzz Aldrin when he spent time with him at his home in California in 2008.

These are just some of those amazing facts;
As we all watched Armstrong set foot on the Moon we all thought we were watching the original footage – but we weren’t. Most of the format was unsuitable for television. To get transmissible pictures out, a US technician held a video camera up to a wall mounted monitor, recording the images from the screen. This was then sent to TV stations around the world! “No wonder the images were double exposed,” David said.

Also amazing is the fact that there was no outside door handle on the lunar lander. What would have happened if they got locked out! Imagine this, if the hatch had closed while Neil and Buzz were on the lunar surface they had no way of getting back inside.

Upon return the three astronauts held in quarantine, just in case they came back with any strange organisms from the moon. By the way, in a case of bureaucracy gone mad, the astronauts had to fill out a customs declaration form after returning with their samples of moon rocks and lunar dust. True!

I guess Buzz Aldrin was always destined to walk on the moon – after all, his mother’s maiden name was … ‘Moon.’ Really!
