Countdown
, pp. 237238, that Nixon rejected remarks proposed by NASA that would have made it sound as if his "administration was responsible for Apollo 11's success and most of the technological achievements that preceded the flights." Instead he said words that were "appropriate, brief, and [didn't upstage] the Apollo 11 crew." Nonetheless, Nixon did speak, setting a precedent that has since turned almost every space mission into a political photo-op.
