[i]...this looks like a hell of a lot of dough to go to the moon when you can go — you can learn most of that you want scientifically through instruments and [b]putting a man on the moon really is a stunt and it isn't worth that many billions[/b]. Therefore the heats going to go on unless we can say this has got some military justification and not just prestige. ...we've got to wrap around in this country, a military use for what we're doing and spending in space. If we don't, it does look like a stunt and too much money – some people – Christ, we can't get money for some ( ) and all the rest and people saying we're spending billions in going to the moon. If we can show that that's true but there's also a very significant military use. ...I'd like to see what we could do to get the military, you said they're holding out, but we can, we can give this thing a military slant. In the final – we can justify the military or national security route much better than we can justify the prestige these days.[/i]
