Member of the new International Space Station crew Sergey Ryzhikov is planning to take icons, the Gospels, letters from his relatives, and stones from Mount Tabor with him to the station.

At a press conference in the Astronaut Training Center named after the first Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, he also said that the crew call is "Tabor" in honor of the holy mount in Israel where Christ was transfigured before His disciples forty days before His crucifixion.

The launch of the manned spaceship Soyuz MS 02 delivering the new crew to the ISS is planned for September 23. The crew includes Russian cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut, with a planned duration of 155 days for the flight.

According to the Word of God (and to what our God-given eyes can see every day), the earth is a flat circle unshakably posed by God at the center of everything.

Therefore, I would be very interested in knowing what exactly this mythological ISS is orbiting.

I am very worried, because when I read of all the holy things taken to the (non-existent) outer space, I have terrifying flashes of "the abomination in the Holy places".
I can still console myself, thinking that even the elects, if possible, can be deceived, but if these news" go on it will become impossible to distinguish between ignorance, negligence and complicity.
