President Kennedy Challenges NASA to Go to the Moon

In an address to Congress on "Urgent National Needs" on May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy called for America to send astronauts to the moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade.

[@Lucky_9705]

Even in this polarized climate, we can all agree that none of the current candidates will have the staying power that Mr. Kennedy once had.

[@greatspirit]

Almost true... except that in the 21st Century, JFK is 2nd best to the Greatest president in US history.

[@maxsmith695]

Guess what WW2 figure JFK said would be accepted as just another wartime leader, over some time period say perhaps 20-30 years, when the hysteria of WW2 simmered down. LMAO.

[@maxsmith695]

It was filmed at a US location in the southwest in 1968. LBJ wanted no part of the hoax and ordered it not be done on his watch. Nixon thought it was distract the public from the huge loss of American soldiers lives in Vietnam, reported nightly on the news. It did not. Nobody paid attention.

[@bingandsatchmo]

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, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

I’m going to put forth a couple names that I have HUNCHES in so far as other celebrities who may have “faked” their “deaths.” What’s a Hunch? It’s a feeling or guess based on intuition rather than known facts. I haven’t had time to look into who else is “behind the curtain,” but these other names have come into my awareness. Could Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin or John Lennon be some of the others waiting to “reappear?” Go ahead and make your own guesses. However, never lose sight of the fact that these individuals feared for their life and also the lives of their families and friends. What kind of evil could be so great that they would walkway from everything: loved ones, immense talents, fame & adoration, wealth. The question of “what kind of evil” is the central theme here. Let’s reassure them, whoever they are, that it’s safe to come out of the shadows.
