IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER

2Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest

in peace.

4These brave men, Neil Armstrong an Edwin Aldrin, I know that there is no hope for their recovery. But

they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.

6These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and

understanding.

​8They 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; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of

her sons into the unknown.

10In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more

tightly the brotherhood of man.

12In ancient days, men looked at the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we

do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.

14Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were

the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.

16For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some

corner of another world that is forever mankind.
