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

      Shubham Mohapatra he was one of our best presidents! A war hero who served his country and saved the lives of some of his men, a man who, during the height of the Cold War deescalated tensions (although the bay of pigs attack was pretty bad), someone who pushed civil rights forward. Pushed for space technology which has many benefits for common people. Ultimately brought the people of the US together which we take for granted as today our presidents now make the country very divided.

      @@mikevids8107 How can you say he was great ? He was slow on civil rights , unsure about vietnam and escalated tensions with cuba. In his short presidency none of his proposed bills actually became acts. All his important bills like civil rights , medicare , tax cuts passed after his death by lyndon johnson. People give him credit in cuban missile crisis but it is a true fact that the crisis was caused by jfk only. He was not sure what to do about vietnam , many people predict that he was waiting for a second term to call back american troops but again it was he who increased military advisers there , so he is not more than a overrated president .
      All he had was good looks , charming personality , oratory skills , a beautiful wife and a kennedy surname ...

      Yeah, that struck me too. He acknowledged the costs, and it even broke it down to the person (40 cent per person, to go up to 50 cent), to make it understandable. A gallon of gas in 1960 was about 31 cent, so it would be equivalent to maybe $4 per person today. So it's not zero, but not overly burdensome. Still great to hear honesty there.

Peace is the ultimate objective. Nothing with me has changed. Times change, people change, it was said. No, the audacity of hope. Five years later, his brother Robert, and a negro spiritual known as Dr. Martin Luther King. The security for what remains must be absolute. Again, a beleaguered family represents what someone considers as an opportunity. No, because the same man that said to forgive also said that sometimes one has to shake the dust from one’s sandals as one leaves. Knowing the circumstances that surround indifference that refuses to change is what prompted the dedication for the conditions of absolute security.
