Miles an hour. President richard nixon, who had talked with the astronauts by telephone while they were on the moon, was waiting aboard the recovery carrier to welcome the returning voyagers. Kfin the president later expressed the nations response to this historic mission. Some way when those two americans stepped on the moon, the people of this world were brought closer together.

Hows that for a wake up at 8 00 in the morning for sleepy undergraduates . 100 years from now, all of you will be dead, and unless you accomplish something extraordinary or perpetuate some evil, the odds are that no one alive will remember you. He went on to say, even if you do get into rarefied zone where your name lives on, the odds are it will be as a torture as a caricature.

Conservative accepted the republican nomination for president in san francisco. Only two things
