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 which we intend to win, and the others, too.” (John Kennedy, On September 12, 1962)

It's now a month past the 60th anniversary of this monumental speech. "WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON IN THIS DECADE..." replays in my head over and over after the successful launch of the SLS for the (ongoing as of this post 11/18/22) Artemis I mission. We will be returning to the moon in this decade, not to visit, but to stay! GO ARTEMIS!

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.

Truly inspirational! JFK loved to use contrasting comparisons in many speeches, and this one is no different. I love how he inspires by showing what lies in front of us and what it tells us about ourselves when facing a daunting task. When he says, "Why climb the highest mountain?" followed up with "Why does Rice play Texas?" we understand that the truly great people want to measure themselves against the best competition or the most challenging task. It's all about perspective. Either we embrace the great challenges, or we shrink away from them. Americans, throughout their history, have welcomed and embraced those challenges. When the right leadership is there, nothing can hold back the United States of America.

I have thought about your question. It made me wonder. What has been the effect of president Kennedy being murdered on all of the people who worked on the Apollo program? How has the death of president Kennedy influenced their will and resolve to be succesful? In a way, I think, there might also be an element of tribute in the moonlanding. As in a means to honour, in an unprecedented way, the life of the very man who gave them the challenge.

NASA is what it is almost entirely because of James Webb. He fought tooth and nail against Kennedy and his administration to make NASA strictly about science and exploration. Your admiration for Kennedy is a bit misplaced, in my opinion. He was a hell of an orator, but a man of incredibly dubious morals. But he was assassinated 2 years into his first term. It's easy to make a martyr of him.
