11 years before we landed on the moon, here's what theologian A.W. Tozer had to say:

"The familiar, safe universe to which our minds had grown accustomed and which we trusted almost as much as we trusted God has blown up in our faces." christianitytoday.com/ct/1958/octobe…

The week of the moon landing, CT did a deep dive into the spiritual lives of the Apollo 11 astronauts, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins

In 1969, Christianity Today interviewed a Christian NASA scientist about extraterrestrial life, the profanity used by the Apollo 10 mission, and how space travel was affecting the philosophical tug-of-war between science and religion

In the days leading up to the moon landing, CT opined:

After the moon landing, CT wrote that "the whole moon voyage, in fact, left something to be desired from the religious perspective"
