The ancients believed the stars controlled man’s destiny medieval scholars thought the heavenly spheres represented perfection and that God was to be found among them and astronomers of the Renaissance saw that they were as imperfect as our own planet. Since the dawn of time, mankind has looked into the heavens and wondered what was there. Kennedy, speech at Rice Stadium in Houston, TX, Septem.
But why, some say, the Moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? We choose to go to the Moon! We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet.
