“If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his
quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred.. . . . For
the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond,
and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest,
but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space
filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and
understanding.
Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and,
therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and in industry,
our hopes for peace and security . . . all require us to make this effort, to solve these
mysteries. . . .We choose to go to the moon. . . and do the other things, not because
they are easy, but because they are hard, . . . because that challenge is one that we
are willing to accept . . . and one which we intend to win.”
