What if Apollo 11 wasn't able to come back from the moon?

This is the speech Nixon had prepared if they ended up stranded on the moon.

What blows my line is that past paragraph, just thinking there would be a point before their death that they would end transmissions with the astronauts. It just sends this sign of total hopelessness. Just to imagine being on the moon, resigned to your fate, still alive, but that moment those on Earth decided they were done talking to you.

Could we have possibly retrieved their bodies with a future moon mission?

I just didn't know if we could get a crew up there in enough time or if we would even want to keep trying for the moon

What always amazes me is that NASA was able to do this with computers far less powerful than the phone I have in my pocket.

My phone computes more porn than they could ever imagine

Pretty crazy to think about. Instant porn machine has more power than the Apollo computers

Appears not. Tommy Lee Jones says "I'm still waiting".

The current House of Representatives cut NASA's funding. That's the anti-science group with no balls.
