This Speech Was Written For President Nixon To Deliver If Apollo 11 Failed - Cammy - Feb 18, 2016
In case the mission ended in tragedy, President Nixon had a speech on hand to deliver to the nation to address the demise of the astronauts. The speech was written by one of President Nixon’s top speechwriters, William Safire, and sent as a memo to Nixon’s chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, the night before the mission. It was finally unveiled to the public in 1999.
We’re fortunate it was a speech that Nixon never had to deliver, but take a look at the manuscript below to see what might have been!

I've seen this before,
a massive deal was made about this, but these things have to be put in place,
what if it did fail - would he just announce the the world "yeah my bad sorry m8"
