But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon Him;
and with His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
"We waited till the astronauts were on the deck of the carrier before adding our congratulations for the achievements of NASA’s Artemis II flight, because the mission was highly risky, especially in the last half hour. But its spectacular success highlights the difference between engineering and ‘scientific’ speculation.
The reaction of the astronauts to the wonders they were beholding. The beauty of that “Earthset” image behind the moon, and the glory of seeing Earth on approach, sent waves of emotion through the astronauts who were highly trained in science, physics, and engineering in addition to flight.
From behind the moon Canadian astronaut Victor Glover expressed his faith as the other three astronauts looked on with approving looks:
The crew shook his hand and CapCom commended his impromptu statement. As the crew approached blackout behind the moon, Glover continued,
“As we get close to the nearest point to the moon and the farthest point from Earth – as we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos – I would like to remind you of one of the most important mysteries there on Earth, and that’s love,” Glover said."
"As we are so far from Earth and looking at, you know, the beauty of creation I think that, for me, one of the personal perspectives I have up here is I can really see Earth as one thing, and, you know, as I read the Bible and learn about all the wonderful things that were done for us who were created, you have this amazing place—this spaceship—you guys are talking to us because we are in a spaceship far from Earth, but you’re on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, the cosmos. Maybe the distance we are from you makes you think what we’re doing is special but we’re the same distance from you, and I’m trying to tell you—just trust me—that you are special.”
