Adams Rubble: did you see the article about the speech William Safire wrote for Nixon in case the astronauts could not return?

Riddle Sideways: even one of Benedict Cumberbatch reading the speech
Adams Rubble: :)

Riddle Sideways: did hear, yesterday a snip from an interview from the forgotten guy that stayed up in orbit while the other 2 got to walk around down on moon
Riddle Sideways: of what the crescent Earth looked like
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: when the landing happened I kind of resented Nixon being part of it but this speech made me feel differently--that it could have gone the other way
Adams Rubble: it would have reflected badly on Nixon
Adams Rubble: also this was a very different speech from what trump would do in similar situation
Riddle Sideways: there you go! viewing things differently again
Adams Rubble: would have blamed everyone
Adams Rubble: as you said, we see what we want to see :)
