As a Presbyterian (I think) he made special arrangements for taking Communion on his own. These apparently exist. I don't know what special arrangements, if any, he took to deal with the low gravity (on the moon).

Crikey I had one of those. Unfortunately the bendy-toy wires in his arms broke so it was a bit of a crap toy really. The rocket launcher thing was pretty good though, and the kit generally did look rather good in a Thunderbirdsish sort of way

Yes,the arms and legs on mine broke. I also had his sidekick in red, shown in the advert. My cousin had the space station as well. lucky boy!

One more question.....did he have to hold his breath when eating the bread and drinking the wine?

I don't know. You've already exhausted my entire knowledge on Holy Communion, lunar or otherwise
