9/12

“We Choose to go to the Moon.”

When

Where

Who

 What 


When: 1962
Where: Rice University, Texas

Who: President John F. Kennedy


What:
In a speech to garner public support for America’s space program, Kennedy challenged the nation to reach the Moon with a manned spaceship, and safely return the crew home (an important caveat) before the end of the decade.

Why

significant


Kennedy’s challenge was done in the face of rising criticism against the cost of the space program in the face of other concerns at home.  His rhetoric centered upon American can do attitudes, accepting a challenge not because it is easy but precisely because it is hard.  Incidentally, the challenge was met when Apollo 11 landed on the Moon July, 20, 1969.Apollo Program, NASA, Moon Landing, Space RaceApollo Program, NASA, Moon Landing, Space RaceApollo Program, NASA, Moon Landing, Space Race
