dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the importance of the first Moon landing through the lens of civil religion. It concludes that civil religion inspired the Moon landing and led to its success in July 1969. Furthermore, it finds that the Moon landing itself entered into the civil religion as a monument to the American creed.en_US
