Apollo 11 Moon Landing

I don't think Nixon and Kennedy were very tight.

The recovery ship, the aircraft carrier USS Hornet steams around the predicted splashdown point, some 1,000 miles south-west of Honolulu in the Pacific Ocean. The use of the carrier, the USS John F Kennedy had been vetoed by the Nixon administration.

"Kennedy was more contemtuous of Nixon but, nonetheless, his family gave money to Nixon's Senate campaign. When both Nixon and Kennedy served in the Senate, their offices were right next to each other. Nixon was invited to Kennedy's wedding in 1953 but was required to play golf with President Eisenhower instead!"

This review of the book sounds about right.
More expediency than friendship on JFK's part, altho' Tricky Dick cried about JFK, and according to this reviewer, was "pathologically jealous of Kennedy's family connections, style and grace", and admired him as well. A deeply disturbed individual.
