The Speech Nixon Never Gave: what if the moon landing went wrong?

http://gawker.com/5369364/william-safires-finest-speech

William Safire passed away yesterday. Here is a speech he drafted for Nixon if the moon landing had gone wrong...interesting bit of "what if" history.

In line with Eisenhowers prepared speach if th Invasion had gone wrong. Nothing much to say really, good thing that it never was needed.
