Masons IN SPACE!!!

In 1969, three of the astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission that landed on the moon were involved in Masonic lodges.

Coincidentally, it also takes a quorum of three masons to establish a new lodge.

You see where this is going, correct?

Buzz Aldrin GOT A SPECIAL DEPUTATION TO CLAIM A MASONIC LODGE FOR TEXAS ON THE MOON. And apparently that lodge, Tranquility Lodge 2000, still exists, albeit here on earth in Texas.

How is this not already the stuff of a million conspiracy theories? Also, how badass is that?

This fun bit of history brought to you by the George Washington National Masonic Memorial, which is totally worth a visit if you happen to be in greater DC.
