The Story of Tranquility Lodge No. 2000
On July 20, 1969, two American Astronauts landed on the moon of the planet Earth, in an area known as Mare Tranquilitatis , or "Sea of Tranquility". One of those brave men was Brother Edwin Eugene (Buzz) Aldrin, Jr., a member of Clear Lake Lodge No. 1417, AF&AM, Seabrook, Texas. Brother Aldrin carried with him SPECIAL DEPUTATION of then Grand Master J. Guy Smith, constituting and appointing Brother Aldrin as Special Deputy of the Grand Master, granting unto him full power in the premises to represent the Grand Master as such and authorize him to claim Masonic Territorial Jurisdiction for The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, on The Moon, and directed that he make due return of his acts. Brother Aldrin certified that the SPECIAL DEPUTATION was carried by him to the Moon on July 20, 1969.

The flag is not facing the correct direction in the visor to be a reflection of the patch on his shoulder...

I don't doubt there may have been an actual masonic flag or some other intrinsic item taken to the moon. Actually I find it likely, but the point of my post is that the photo itself is fake.

The flag in the astronauts helmet visor is surely the reflection from the flag patch on his space suit and not of the actual flag. Not that i think its real or anything, Just an observation
