 As humans, we have been exploring the stars since Yuri Gagarin launched to space on the 12th of April, 1961. And when we, astronauts and cosmonauts, when we go to space, we don't just take up the science and the hardware and the supplies that it takes to live and work on board the space station. We take up our language, our society, our culture, our beliefs, our faith, and in my case, our Lord Jesus Christ.
