Freemasonry on the Moon

Freemasonry on the Moon

Author: Juan Sepulveda July 19, 2022 Duration: 10:12

Did you know that the first words uttered by Man from the surface of the moon were not the ones most people think? The first words, as documented by NASA's audio files, were "Contact Light". These words were uttered by astronaut "Buzz" Aldrin. 

The irony of these words is that, not only was this the first time humans contacted the surface of another heavenly body, but it was the first time Freemasonry made physical contact with the moon. Among the personal items that Buzz Aldrin brought with him on this historic flight, he brought a Masonic Flag. Yes, the second man to walk on the surface of the moon was a Freemason. 

This episode features an exploration into the presence of Freemasonry on the moon through the efforts of Brother Edwin Buzz Aldrin and the subsequent presence of the moon in Freemasonry through the establishment of Tranquility Lodge No. 2000 and the various artifacts brought back from the moon. 

Let's explore the connection between Freemasonry and the Moon and how these events set in motion the future establishment of the First Masonic Lodge on the surface of the moon. All that and more on this episode of The Winding Stairs

These are exciting times for Science! For months, astronomy enthusiasts have been excitedly awaiting the release of the first photos from the James Webb Space Telescope. A $10 Billion Dollar project to put the largest and most capable telescope out in Space. There are two primary reasons why every Freemason in the world should be excited about this event. 1. As Masons we are encouraged to study Astronomy (We answer why in this episode) and 2. This telescope was named after Brother James Webb… A Freemason.
