Nixon Contingency Moon Speech

Mon 3 Feb 2003 3:35:44

"Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace..."

It turns out President Nixon had a contingency speech ready in case the astronauts of Apollo 11 were irretrievably stranded on the moon. How morbid is that?
