The first man on the moon was a civilian.

My understanding, is that the first man on the moon was Neil Armstrong, who was in the Airforce.

Armstrong in an early (pre-Gemini) spacesuit.There was no defining moment in Armstrong's decision to become an astronaut. In 1957, he was selected for the U.S. Air Force's Man In Space Soonest program. In November 1960 Armstrong was chosen as part of the pilot consultant group for the X-20 Dyna-Soar, a military space plane. On March 15, 1962 he was named as one of six pilot-engineers who would fly the space plane when it got off the design board.[sup][size="2"][[/size]

I did not get it, Era. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, because I'm sure it was funny.

Archbishop Milingo had some kind of connection to Sun Myung Moon. Moon was the founder of the so-called "Moonies."




Now do you get the joke?

He was Navy actually. He left the regular Navy in 1952, and the Naval Reserve in 1960.

Christ came to save the world. Not the moon. Not sure there is salvation for men on the moon. . I certainly wouldn't fly there.

You don't really fly to the moon. There's no air for most of the trip.

Ya, ya, ya.

You are right, I stand corrected.
