Jupiter's moons Amalthea, Callisto, Europa, Ganymede and Io are capable of producing total solar eclipses on Jupiter. Pluto's moon Charon, Hydra, and Nix are capable of producing total solar eclipses on Pluto.

The larger moons of the giant planets have sizes that are comparable to the Earth's Moon or Mercury, and these satellites are similarly cloaked in a thin film of gas. Their exospheres are also temporary features, and must be continuously re-supplied from the moon's surface.
A tenuous veil of oxygen molecules has been found around Europa.... Jupiter's innermost large satellite Io has a varying thin atmosphere of sulfur dioxide.... The largest of Jupiter's moons, Ganymede also has an exceedingly tenuous atmosphere.

Mercury is surrounded by a tenuous exosphere that is supplied primarily by the planet’s surface materials and is known to contain sodium, potassium, and calcium. Observations by the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer during MESSENGER’s second Mercury flyby revealed the presence of neutral magnesium in the tail (anti-sunward) region of the exosphere, as well as differing spatial distributions of magnesium, calcium, and sodium atoms in both the tail and the nightside, near-planet exosphere. Analysis of these observations, supplemented by observations during the first Mercury flyby, as well as those by other MESSENGER instruments, suggests that the distinct spatial distributions arise from a combination of differences in source, transfer, and loss processes.

In addition, the coma of a comet would be an exosphere, as it is the result of the interaction between solar radiation and the comet's solid nucleus. These exospheres are extremely temporary as they form as the comet passes the asteroid belt on the inward leg and disappear at about the same point on the outward leg. Now, please explain why this is relevant to Apollo, which actually observed the Moon's exosphere.

Point #1 - Sorry, NO the Earth and Moon share the only relationship that causes an observer to see a perfect solar eclipse, there is no other moon in the solar system that does this.
Pick any body in the solar system and you will find something unique about it.

Point #2 - Yes, many bodies are tidally locked to there planets, this is one aspect of the moon but I also happen to know that the moon with all it's aspects is alone in the solar system, no other moon shares all of these aspects together, it is......... Unique in it's properties and actions.
Assertion without evidence.
Nixon had an ulterior motive for typing up that speech with the very specific scenario.

Nothing will be good enough. I've come to accept that from the hoax mindset.
The photos seem to be impressing the scientific community but then again, what do scientists know?

Also, it's a prepared backup speech, not the prepared speech. Your own link says so. They were covering their bases.

Nopes. The world is crumbling more around us because of people who have no education and no experience think they can prove something without even understanding what they are talking about. They can scream their lungs out in the forums and tubes of the net. In the end if there is a hoax and there is evidence it will be the scientist who will bring it attention. Meanwhile those who just make noise will be ignored as always because they're talking crap.
