| 85% | First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind or more important for the long-range exploration of space, and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. We propose to accelerate the development of the appropriate lunar spacecraft. We propose to develop alternate liquids and solid fuel boosters, much larger than any now being developed, until certain which is superior. We propose additional funds for other engine development, and for unmanned exploration. Expirations which are particularly important, for one purpose which this nation will never overlook, the survival of the man who first makes this daring flight. But in the very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon. We make this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation, for all of us must work to put him there. | ▶️ |
