JFK's 1962 Speech featured on "The Announcement" 

• Its hazards are hostile to us all
• Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind
• And its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again
• 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?
• Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon!
• 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
