2. 0:05we are all familiar with Neil
3. 0:06Armstrong's first steps on the moon and
4. 0:09his statement that's one small step for
5. 0:12man one giant leap for mankind but did
6. 0:15you know a similar significant event
7. 0:18occurred right before this quote as he
8. 0:21was leaving the lunar module Buzz Aldren
9. 0:24made this Public Announcement I'd like
10. 0:26to take this opportunity to ask every
11. 0:29person listening in whoever and wherever
12. 0:32they may be to pause for a moment and
13. 0:35contemplate the events of the past few
14. 0:37hours and to give thanks in his or her
15. 0:40own way Aldren later wrote about his
16. 0:43experience in the radio blackout I
17. 0:46opened the little plastic packages which
18. 0:48contained the bread and the wine I
19. 0:50poured the wine into the Chalice our
20. 0:52church had given me in the one sixth
21. 0:55gravity of the Moon the wine slowly
22. 0:57curled and gracefully came up the sides
23. 0:59of the cup
24. 1:00then I read the scripture I am the vine
25. 1:03you are the branches whosoever abides in

29. 1:14thanks for the intelligence and spirit
30. 1:17that had brought two young Pilots to the
31. 1:19Sea of Tranquility it was interesting
32. 1:21for me to think the very first liquid
33. 1:24ever poured on the moon and the very
34. 1:26first food eaten there were the
35. 1:28communion elements
36. 1:31to think that some of the very first
37. 1:32words spoken on the moon were the words
38. 1:35of Jesus Christ is amazing and it brings
39. 1:38new thought to Jesus words spoken in
40. 1:40John
41. 1:438:12 I am the light of the world whoever
42. 1:46follows me will never walk in darkness
43. 1:48but will have the light of
