We choose to go to the moon.
The following is adapted from a speech United States President John F. Kennedy gave in Houston,texas,on September 12,1962
Why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may ask: why climb the highest mountian? Why, 35 years ago, fly across the atlantic?
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade, not because it is easy, but because it is hard. But the challenge is one that we are willing to accept. It is one we are unwilling to put off
To send a rocket to the moon, we must be bold.1 The moon is 240,000 miles away2 from the Earth. And the rocket is just 300 feet3 tall. The rocket will need new kinds of metal, some of which have not yet been invented.It must be able to stand heat and stresses like those never experienced before. It will need to carry all the equipment it needs-all on an untried mission, to an unknown place. And then it must return safely to Earth by re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles4 per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun.We want to do all this. And we went to do it right. And do it first, before this decade is out!
Many years ago, the great British explorer George Mallory, who died on Mount Everest, was asked why he wanted to climb it. He said, “Because it is there”
Well, space is there, and we’re going to climb it.The moon and the planets are there.New hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, we start on the most dangerous
and greatest adventure that man has ever tried.
