The Moon speech of President John Kennedy (comments in brackets).

In 1382 AH (12 September 1962) at Rice University sports stadium in Houston, Texas the President of the United States of America (USA) John F. Kennedy said “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade (1962 - 1972) 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 ….”

“…. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas (rocket) which launched John Glenn (the first American in space) …”

“…. We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn (rocket) combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral (in Florida, USA, now known as Cape Kennedy) as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this (sports) field ….”

“…. Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were made in the United States of America ...”

“…. The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to (the planet) Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot (launch) is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral (today known as Cape Kennedy) and dropping it in this (sports) stadium between the 40-yard lines.”

“Satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course and have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.”

“We have had our failures, but so have others …. “

“To be sure we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned (space) flight. But we do not intend to stay behind (in space flight), and in this decade (1960 - 1970), we shall make up and move ahead.”

“The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school ….”

“And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs.”

“Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city (of Houston) and this state (of Texas), and this region (in the USA), will share greatly in this growth ...” “… (it) will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space.”

“Your city of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community.”

“During the next 5 years (1962 - 1967) the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to 60 million dollars a year; to invest some 200 million dollars in plant and laboratory facilities; and to direct or contract for new space efforts over 1 billion dollars from this (Manned Spacecraft) center in this city (of Houston, Texas).

“To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money.”

“This year's space budget is three times what it was in January 1961 (1380 AH), and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined.”

“That budget now stands at 5 billion 400 million dollars a year—a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year.”

“Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United States, for we have given this program a high national priority—even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.”

“But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the Moon 240,000 miles away (386,000 km) from the control station in Houston (Texas, USA), a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body (the Moon), and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour (40,200 kilometers per hour), causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun—almost as hot as it is here today (joke)—and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade (1960 - 1970) is out—then we must be bold (brave and confident and steadfast).”

“… I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job. And this will be done in the decade of the Sixties (1960 to 1970).”

“It (sending humans to the Moon) may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university.”

“It (sending humans to the Moon) will be done during the terms of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform.”

“But it (sending humans to the Moon) will be done. And it (sending humans to the Moon) will be done before the end of this decade (a period of ten years).”

“And I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the Moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America.”

“Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest (the highest mountain in the world), was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there."

Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the Moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there.”

“And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.”

“Thank you.” (the Moon speech by the President of the United States of America John F. Kennedy in 1382 AH 12 September 1962).
