You know, Edgar Mitchell the astronaut had a religious experience in space, but not a "Christian" one....he later founded an organization to promote it..
On the way back from the moon Mitchell was able to look down at the whole Earth and experience something like an epiphany. In his own words: "The presence of divinity became almost palpable and I knew that life in the universe was not just an accident based on random processes. . . The knowledge came to me directly." 8. It was this experience to which Edgar Mitchell credits his thinking about consciousness and its relation to the body and all of humanity. Mitchell began to attempt to find others who shared his ideas that all things were interconnected through consciousness.
In 1972, he retired from the Navy as a captain and founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences March of 1973
A Secret Telepathy Experiment in Space
Mitchell describes that being in space looking down on Earth had a profound impact on his mind and his thoughts about man and our place in cosmos. But even before this moment, as he described as a "spontaneous epiphany experience", he was open-minded enough to perform a telepathy experiment without NASA knowing it during his Apollo mission in space.
This amusing information Edgar Mitchell admits in a radio interview with Art Bell for Coast-to-Coast AM in 1996 (Download info about the complete audio interview content). He had to do the experiment, which turned out to be very successful, secretly since NASA in those days where not too (openly) interested in neither Extraterrestrials nor paranormal phenomena.
