In Event of Moon Disaster

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

After listening to the fifty-ninth episode of Roderick on the Line, I found the speech written for the president should astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become stranded on the moon. It would be a lonely way to go, sitting on the moon, staring at Earth a few hundred thousand miles away as their oxygen slowly depleted and they suffocated. It would have been a terrible way to go.

Thankfully, this was one speech he never gave.
