Question 1004

"Fate has ordained that the men who went to X to explore in peace will stay on X to rest in peace.
These brave men, Y and Z, know that there is
no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for
mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be
mourned by the nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world."

Identify X, Y and Z, and put funda.

    Nixon's prepared statement of Apollo 11 would fail, leaving Buzz & Arm on the moon, with Collins circling the moon in the lunar module.

    Was never delivered, but was later found out

    X- The moon
    Y- Neil Armstrong
    Z- Edwin Aldrin

    The Apollo 11 mission had a very low chance of bringing back the astronauts alive. So Richard Nixon had prepared this speech in case their lives were lost...
