None of the text is spoken. It would’ve worked if they said “I have no words”.
I mean legally written text is considered “speech” afaik which becomes obvious with the term “free speech” but yeah doesnt make sense on an every day basis.
Also: Many speeches are written down beforehand, some just in case and the case doesn’t come. I once listened to a speech from I think the major of Frankfurt that should have been hold after Frankfurt was selected as the capital of Germany. It wasn’t. The speech was quite surreal
Speech prepared if Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were stuck on the moon:
IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER:
Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their 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.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at 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.
Others 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.
For 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.
I love how the pilot isn’t mentioned at all. In most disaster cases, he wouldn’t return either. It’s almost a meme that he’s always forgotten and no one even knows his name. But we will never forget you, Mike Miller, never.
I believe that Michael Collins was explicitly not mentioned because it was believed he was gonna make it back regardless. I’m not 100% certain, but I believe the speech was prepared for the (somewhat likely) scenario that Armstrong and Aldrin could not lift off from the surface of the moon due to failure or not enough fuel to meet up with Collins in the lunar orbiter to return to Earth.
IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER:
rip 5ever
A family member of mine sends texts like that, they don’t care about communicating, only winning
“huh”
they’ll hate it
Just respond “nice meltdown.”
Try being typeless next time
I just find it funny that (something that isn’t funny)
I’m not racist but (the most racist thing I’ve heard in years)
Not to brag but (Bragging)
