Not a problem there, cash78mere. Just clarifying a few things, is all.
But it was a good article you posted, nevertheless.
On a similar but unrelated point, being also a Mason, I'm proud to be a charter member of the future Masonic lodge on the Moon (though it'll probably happen well after my lifetime). Here's the story behind it:
During the Apollo 11 flight to the Moon, astronaut Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin (he later legally changed his name to Buzz Aldrin only) carried a special deputation fron the then-Grand Master of Masons of Texas, J. Guy Smith and instructed to make 'due return of his actions'. This was basically a paper signed and sealed by the Grand Master deputizing Brother Aldrin (a member of Clear Lake Lodge No. 1417 near Houston, Texas) as a special representative of the Grand Master. Brother Aldrin took the document in his personal preference kit to the moon and returned it, certifying that the document traveled to the Moon and back. (The special deputation is now on display at the Grand Lodge of Texas Library and Museum in Waco, Texas.)
Technically, this made the Moon a Masonic jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Texas. In December 1999, at the meeting of the Grand Lodge, and to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the moon landing, they created a special lodge of the Grand Lodge of Texas named Tranquility Lodge No. 2000. This lodge is open for membership to Master Masons who belong to a grand lodge in fraternal relations to the Grand Lodge of Texas.
