The Speech That Never Was: Nixon’s Contingency Plan for a Moon Disaster

In 1969, as NASA prepared for the historic Apollo 11 mission, the White House took precautions against potential disaster. Speechwriter William Safire drafted a contingency speech titled “In Event of Moon Disaster,” intended for President Richard Nixon to deliver if astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were stranded on the lunar surface.

Great Ocean Road

Beautiful Victoria

The Great Ocean Road is one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the world to take a road trip. Just down the road from the Twelve Apostles Visitors Centre are the Gibson Steps.
