Great Oratory That (Thankfully) Never Happened
Now that Discovery is home safe, we feel that we can guiltlessly link to the speech Nixon never gave about Apollo XI:
Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice...
For every human being who looks up at the moon at nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.
If you're at all interested in great oratory, you should take a look. It's a gorgeous speech.
