Masons on the Moon?
Kind of amusing, though ultimately all BS:
it is claimed by some that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong performed a "communion" ceremony "33" minutes after landing on the Moon and that Buzz carried a Masonic flag with him to the moon, and that he brought it back to Earth and presented it to the "Sovereign Grand Commander" Smith who was the Supreme Commander of the Supreme Council of the World. The flag Is hung in the Library Museum in the Scottish Rite Temple in Washington, DC located at 1733 Sixteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC.
In Aldrin’s autobiography, Return to Earth, the only mention of Masonry is when he says that he temporarily lost his grandfather’s Masonic ring that he wanted to take to the Moon while suiting up for the mission. He says nothing about that banner, nor of the “SPECIAL DEPUTATION” he undertook for the Texas Grand Lodge on the Moon.

oh is that a moon rocket? i thought it was an ICBM.
also notice the 2-headed eagle...does that denote the 2-faced behaviour of politicians? i can't think of a better symbol to represent the empires of today...or maybe a skunk would be more fitting.
It's long been rumoured that ALL the Apollo astro-nots were apron-wearers and handshake-givers... and that holding a high degree in The Lodge was absolutely essential to rising through the NASA ranks (sort of like in the Mormon "church").
