Thunderstorms in the recovery zone forced NASA to adjust Apollo 11 landing to 241 miles southeast of Johnston Island, altering the planned 497 mile path. President Nixon planned to witness the splashdown as Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins followed new downrange instructions. The Nixon visit to San Francisco included a cable car ride with crowds and security detail.
