Space Trivia

Did you know that The Salvation Army Flag has been to the Moon?

In April 1972, three small Salvation Army flags took a trip to the moon and back! They went with Captain John W. Young, USN, commander of Apollo 16. This was the fifth manned mission to the Moon

 

And now, as of February 2021, The Salvation Army is now represented on Mars as well.

The Salvation Army of Brazos County in Texas submitted its name to be microscopically engraved on a silicon chip and placed on the Mars Rover that launched in July of 2020. With a successful landing of the rover in mid-February, The Salvation Army is represented along with the other nearly 11 million names on Mars!
