Common for Space Exploration (Episcopal Church):
Creator of the universe, your dominion extends through the immensity of space: guide and guard those who seek to fathom its mysteries [especially N.N.]. Save us from arrogance lest we forget that our achievements are grounded in you, and, by the grace of your Holy Spirit, protect our travels beyond the reaches of earth, that we may glory ever more in the wonder of your creation: through Jesus Christ, your Word, by whom all things came to be, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
A prayer on the anniversary of the first Moon landing (Church of England):
O God, who made the universe and all that is in it, we thank you for the skills and talents that enable us to explore the mysteries of creation. Give us the will to cherish all that you have made, and to use the riches of our own world for the good of all, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
