He did not. He was the Command Module pilot and stayed in lunar orbit while he crew mates landed. He was going to get a chance to walk on the moon on one of the Apollo missions that was later scrapped.

There wasn't a question, so it's not a wrong answer.
It's a relevant statement of fact in response to comments referring to Christianity or religion in general. The point remains that people of faith are involved in the tech industry, and everyone reading this statement benefits from this (i.e., slashdot wouldn't be here without people of faith).
Regarding the atrocities committed in the name of fervor (of which religion is a subset)... there's no defending the indefensible.
But let's not lose sight of a bigger picture. How many institutions of education, healing and social reform were born from religious motivation?
Just one example of millions: William Wilberforce didn't tirelessly champion the abolition of slavery due to a strong agnosticism or atheism. He did what he did precisely because he compelled by his fervent faith... and I'm not talking about a weekend of making posters or organizing a few fund raisers, but roughly forty years of fighting the system... and we're all better off for it.
Fervor isn't intrinsically bad. Like so many other things, it's not that you have it, but what you do with it.
When people exercise only without eating cleanly, they might lose "x" amount of weight.
When people eat cleanly and workout rigorously, they lose "4x" amount of weight (depends on level of exercise).
When people eat cleanly without exercising, they lose "3x" amount of weight.
When it comes to weight loss, exercise is important, but eating right is much more important.
I'm a long distance runner, and the saying "you can't outrun the fork" is truth.
I'll second the value of using myfitnespal. It's cross-platform and much of the data is contributed. Very powerful software that works surprisingly well.
Don't have a source, but I've heard that people who journal their food intake are twice as likely to lose weight over those who do not journal. For many, just keeping a record of how much you consume helps keep it under control. Adding light to moderate exercise on top of it, and that's 90% of everything you need to know to effectively lose weight.
Pardon my apparent ignorance, but how would there have been any sound if there was nothing for sound waves to travel through? (i.e., "In space, no one can hear you scream." -- Alien)

Unauthorized use of his pants down?
If you are religious, you should be prohibited from serving in public office. Further, you should have a guardian assigned to look after your affairs, since obviously you are very weak intellectually.
Probably bring about end of war, famine, disease, poverty, and all evil in the world, if we could just keep the religious from having influence.

Just in case you were wondering: Fiona means "white" and "O'Leary" means "keeper of the calves." Carry on.
