What an honor it was to personally show General Charlie Duke, the tenth and youngest astronaut to walk on the moon (back in April 1972), and his family through the Ark Encounter last week.

Oh, I did ask him, “What does the earth look like from the moon?” He replied, “A sphere spinning in space.” So, no, the earth isn’t flat!

General Duke and his wife have a Christian ministry, teaching on marriage—and they speak all over the world. General Duke also speaks at various conferences about his days as an astronaut and that famous walk on the moon. One of our granddaughters was thrilled to have her photograph taken with this famous astronaut.
