We have a liftoff! Did you know a tiny microfilm Bible was the first to make a lunar landing with Apollo 14? The Bible, just an inch and a half by an inch and a half, can be read only with a microscope and is today being called by collectors one of the rarest books in the world. The lunar Bible began on a tragic note on January 27, 1967. During a launch pad test, a flash fire broke out and three astronauts were killed. Before his death, lunar module pilot Ed White said to a reporter, he hoped someday to take a Bible to the moon. To honor the astronaut's memory, a series of events took place over many years, until White's dream was finally realized in 1971 when astronaut Ed Germitchell took the lunar Bible to the moon.
