Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by moorouge: [B]Why do people always, almost without exception, leave out the most important part of Kennedy's speech? He said also: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]It means a degree of dedication, organisation and discipline which has not always characterised... our efforts. It means we cannot afford undue work stoppages, inflated costs of materials or talent, wasteful inter-agency rivalries, or a high turnover of key personnel. (Everyone must give)... his personal pledge that this nation will move forward with full speed of freedom in the exciting adventure of space.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, a consideration was, as has been pointed out, 'to beat the Russians.' But he was also more interested in reviving the US economy. NASA had plans to go to the Moon in October 1960. Kennedy simply used them to kill two birds with one stone.[/B][/QUOTE]
