John F. Kennedy "Landing a man on the Moon" Address to Congress - May 25, 1961
Loading...
Uploaded by TheApollo11Channel on Jul 1, 2010
In an address to a Joint session of the United States Congress, Kennedy announces full presidential support for the goal to "commit...before this decade is out, to landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth" and urges Congress to appropriate the necessary funds, eventually consuming the largest financial expenditure of any nation in peacetime.
Though Kennedy had initially been convinced that NASA should attempt a manned mission to Mars, NASA Associate Administrator Robert Seamans spent three days and nights working, ultimately successfully, to convince him otherwise.

To think JFK wanted to go to Mars as well. With this man as our President, we probably could have done to as well. But no, America was lazy...

Do you know if the whole speech is available somewhere, as a video and not just audio?
