William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.
If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space.
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolutions, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.
Yet the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first. In short, our leadership in science and in industry, our hopes for peace and security, our obligations to ourselves as well as others, all require us to make this effort, to solve these mysteries, to solve them for the good of all men, and to become the world's leading space-faring nation.
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say the we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
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.
It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.

People do not speak this way, anymore.
But they do use unnecessary, commas.
It's a shame they don't. today's people speak like: we chose to go the safe zone, not because it is hard, but because we are pussies. We chose to yield to stupidity because we are inbred.
We need to recapture this feeling of achievement and move the *uck out of safe spaces and comfort zones and apply our asses to the hard work of BUILDING anything worthwhile.
they do, but its because there's no moon landing right now and he's kennedy, in the 1960s
StsFiveOneLima because this is how people talk in the 60s
talkED
not because it is easy, but because it IS HARD.
damn, that was the last time a millionare was US president before trump...
01:41 - Future
05:37 - Vision
14:43 - Goal
it's a poor thing that John F kennedy didnt' survive to see a man land on the moon
Edited: Guys, thanks for the likes! But I didn't expect myself to start a debate here xD
Even worse is that Nixon got his name on the plaque that was left on the moon instead of JFK
Texasforever you should be very careful. The last guy that said that was punched out by Buzz Aldrin. ruclips.net/video/OROlF8zB9z0/видео.html Plus it was shown that there are reflectors left by them on the moon that anyone not willfully ignorant can prove for themselves by shining a laser at them. ruclips.net/video/VmVxSFnjYCA/видео.html
Bullshit !!!!!! That sucker punch from masonic bitch Buzz was staged just like the fake Kennedy Assassination Argon the gullible.
You are right. Kennedy never saw it. Just like you and me and everyone else. No one will. Just in the movies.
What are you talking about Skyla. JFK was a fraud complicit in the bullshit space program among other things including his/her fake assassination. Notice any semblance between JFK and a certain peanut farmer from Georgia and with a few tweaks Jack(ie) repeating the role of first lady ? They are all scumbags and Jimmy Carter is still supposed to be alive, so JFK technically is also.
One of the greatest speeches man has given. Rest In Peace JFK..
Winston churchill : am i joke to uh?
@Napoléon Bonaparte I think this is a joke, but I'm not sure by the way its phrased.
its_aemix ! He said "one of"
My vote goes to Alexander the Greats speech at Opis about his mens mutiny. You listen to that and you will feel like YOU betrayed the man.
Jason Buford Winston Churchill was at the mercy of Franklin Delanor Roosevelt: FDR. It was America that kept England afloat during the axis powers assault on the nation.
"Not because they are easy, but because they are hard". God Damn, what a Speech.
The ONLY person that has inspired me to actually do something great with my life.
No one else, alive or dead has accomplished that.
He really is the only one, isn't he?
I was at Rice University the other day and stood behind the podium in this video. They have a nice exhibit if this day in the Fondren Library on campus. JFK was a great orator. This was one if his best speeches and inspired everyone to his challenge to land a man in the moon before the end if the decade. What an achievement! This was a great time! We need this kid if spirit in our country again. We need this level of class in our country again. A great speech!
"the greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds"; just pure beauty in words.
A pithy way of saying: The more we find out, the more we realise how much we didn't know: not just stuff we knew we didn't know, but stuff we didn't know that we didn't know.
In a thousand years, when humanity is exploring the stars, our descendants will look back at this speech and say, "This is where it started. This is how it all began." The Cold War and the conflicts between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. were fleeting things and they'll eventually become just another moment in history. But the launch of Sputnik, the flight of Yuri Gagarin, this speech and the Moon landing itself will go on to resonate with our civilization for as long as it exists. Because the human race must explore, it's in our nature, it's a part of our instinct. National strife and societal ills are things that can be beaten and can be solved given enough time and unity. But there is no end to exploration or the attainment of knowledge, these things are eternal. It's what we evolved to do, it's our species' purpose.
Mech610 Funny how you put it, because it was the cold war that boosted the space race.
It needs to happen, with all of us together.
You do realize the space race was to show off our missile capability, right? The tech to put a man on the moon & the tech to hit the kremlin with a nuke? Same tech...... (don't forget the cuban missile crisis)
I hope you're right though, your world sounds much nicer than the one most of us have to live in
I agree
space is fake get over it buddy
This was a great man who put people on the moon and helped to forward world peace. He deserved so much more.
How true ! But when Goverenment kills one of its own and goes aginst the people greatnest is gone for ever!
Apollo 12
He really did, thank you for saying that.
I've listened to this speech a lot this year. Jack was buried on 25th Nov. 56 years ago. Rest in Peace, Mr President.
The best president of the USA in history
that's why he is murdered
:((
thithanhthuy Le Yes he was murdered despite the fact that he did everything that the elites wanted. We almost went to war with the Soviet Union but sure he was such a nice guy.
Donald Trump haha
Short lived though
This was truly a great speech. We need such visionary leadership in our time...
Visionary leadership is good for any time.
It's a shame that neither Trump or Biden are even close to one
He knew those who stood up were going to be silenced. They have been silencing natural born leaders for a long time.
Can you imagine how the crowd felt hearing this? Hearing that man was to venture into space, and further to the moon? For all their lives they looked at the sky in wonder at the unknown, but now the possibilities of knowing the unknown were right in front of them.
16:16 I love how he gets relaxed with everyone at this part.
Rest In Peace, it is sad that he never lived to see his dream take place.
May we all continue towards the stars.
For some reason when I look back at JFKs time it gives me this twilight zone feeling Rest In Peace to this great man
A true leader of men. What a concept.
No other leader comes close.
People don’t talk like this anymore. The way he talks and speaks is just perfect. I could listen to this man all day. The fact that he delivers all of his speeches flawlessly with out any um’s and ah’s makes it that extra bit perfect. I think that speeches as motivational as this ought to be spoken today. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, you are an inspiration and a hero of mine. Rest In Peace you terrific man...
Why can't we all be like this
If we were all like this, then he wouldnt be great.
lasana35 * We would get shot.
Don't be like him.
He was a liar and a traitor.
hunchbacked How do you know? Internet told you? Television told you? Or you discovered this by yourself? What are your arguments? How come you're so sure? ;)
hunchbacked Ah I see. You've seen videos. Either other 'real theories' can change your mind.
actualized life purpose course brought me here
good to read this, mee too
what do you think about the course?
I've just started, I purchused it on last Saturday. I've been following actualizes.org for 2 years. I realised that I have many limiting beliefs, more than I would ever thought, I consider it a progress. How do you feel about it?
just try your best~
hope the best result for you
thank you. how do you progress with it? is is effective? im curious
This man right here was the only real president this world had. he was extremely smart respectful too bad we will never have a president like this I can't stop hearing his speeches amazing I'm actually lucky to get to watch these videos of him and see that day.
+James N. not as poor as modern repubs.
Uzziel Ruiz You have a very narrow perspective then
You can't say world if you don't know every president from every country.
Lighter In The Storm The JFK complex is real. I don’t mind the deity status but many speak as though there were no other leaders of decency in American history.
Nice speech... but he's no Donald Trump. And by that I mean, he can form complete sentences.
Do you expect the same audience which watches 50 shades of gray, listens to lil wayne, and eats big macs to be receptive to this type of speaker?
Trump does what he has to do to get the job done.
JFK was not exactly a Democrat. One of the many reasons why he was assassinated, because he wasn't behaving like a full Democrat.
what are you opinions on 9/11?
it happened........
Donald Trump No friendo, fuck _you._
Damn listen to that optimisim that oozed from his voice. That confidence that America would be the first to go to the moon despite their long list of rocket failures in comparison to a very successful USSR.
Kennedy I believe is one of the few people alive to truly embody a generation. When all Americans felt they could take on the world and do the things no other civilization had ever done.
This speech of course has some of the most quotable sentences in all of History, but it also hides other messages very inspiring as well. "I don't think we oughta waste any money, but I think we oughta do the job". That should be a guiding principle for the public sector today - we forgot we have to "be bold". We don't do the hard things any more. Spending a lot of money does not equate to wasting money, and we can't be at a standstill until the last person on Earth has their comfort before we do our endeavors. In fact if we do that, that's a guarantee more and more people will lose their comfort.
Goosebumps. Man, if this doesn't get you fired up, check your pulse.
“The greater our knowledge increases the greater our ignorance unfolds” nearly 60 years have past and this quote could describe any number of our qualities that we take for granted today and they used rotary phones and launch codes for nukes on beta max floppy discs well................ that last one hasn’t changed
Very inspiring speech. We choose to go to the moon!
One of the few great speakers of our modern time
lol 😂😂😂😂
What an orator! Leaders done move Nations with their words like this anymore. Gave me chills multiple times.
This man was A HERO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY HUMAN LIFE IN THE U.S., all his top generals said to launch our nukes, both barrels. He was the one and only voice AND HE REFUSED. Everyone in America would be dead.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful historic speech.
Hello world I was selected for the ALX program, and this speech changed my mindset. GRIT
I thank you for this gem... I've listened to it about 70 times now... I listen to it in the car.. And everywhere elce. This is my type of track.. Once again.. Thankyou
A few days ago, I decided to study the greatest historical speeches. I was watching a lecture by Eric Edmeades and became very curious about the idea of mastering my public speaking skill.
My intention is to watch as many greatest speeches as I may find and write comments linking them all together. Since this is the first speech I've watched after I had decided to go deep down the rabbit hole, I wanna say a few words about the algorithm I'm gonna stick to while doing my study.
1. chose a speech
2. watch it
3. write a short comment
4. link one speech to another
Just as simple as that. The goal is to watch a hundred speeches as fast as I can and see how it's gonna affect my public speaking skill.
Today is the 10th day of my commitment to make daily speeches and upload them on youtube.
I like how Kennedy persuades people to invest in hard tasks and plays on emotions of national pride, competitiveness, and curiosity.
I love JFK’s voice.
Today we reached the outer rim, Pluto and its moons......Kennedy was right. Why i named my daughter and first born after him.
You named your daughter John?
Think about that for a second.....
wait for it.....waaaaaait for it.
...
tell me what she's called and stop being a troll
F Clarke Kennedy you fucking idiot.
Wikipedia says something else: The term empire derives from the Latin imperium (power, authority). Politically, an empire is a geographically extensive group of states and peoples (ethnic groups) united and ruled either by a monarch (emperor, empress) or an oligarchy.
I wish speeches were still like this one 😍
Dam son this speech is so awesome I cannot adequately describe how it resonates with
Me.
J.F. KENNEDY- The Beast and Great President of USA HISTORY! J.F. KENNEDY I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, LOVE AND THANKS! RIP!
Gentlemen, at times like these our capacity to retaliate must be and has to be massive, to deter all forms of aggression.
This man dedicated his whole life for the sake of the country and he died while serving the country I show more then respect to Sir.JFK R.I.P. Mr.President see ya on the other side..
The greatest history lesson I have ever heard.
God bless you President Kennedy. RIP Sir.
"No nation that expects to lead the other nations cant afford staying behind in the space race" thats true keynesian, productive economics
8:50-8:58 i wrote that quote on my moon sheet when learning about space
Thanks for the upload! I've been subbed for a long long time on different accounts. You're one of the best channels on here.
It’s sad that he didn’t get to see it.
One of the most legendary presidents of all time!
That Boston accent sure is something!
This is how I felt while trying to convince my parents to let me sleepover at a friends house
We choose to go to the Moon. 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 we intend to win, and the others, too.
Beyond Words! This is what a REAL President looks like! He speaks of science,Trump doesn't believe in science."....and do the other things" Absolutely Remarkable
was this before zombies raided the pentagon? or after?
Can I use this sound clip for personal use for a small audience?
Best speech I’ve ever heard and best president
JFK is wonderful
Kennedy he was a very, very good man, I have so big respect to this man, and very good speaking, JFK Rest in Peace...
I'm watching this, and listening to the Gravity soundtrack in the background on my computer. I have an idea for a video. :D Thank you JFK!
Even I'm Korean, but he's really nice leader. He shows how leaders should be like. Rest In Peace
3:48 "This country was not built by those who...wished to look behind them"
Literally the opposite of MAGA, and Texas applauded.
That doesn't make any sense.
Dave N MAGA is literally says “Make America Great Again”- Donald J “The Racist” Trumps “campaign” slogan.
DOnAlD TRUmP Is RaciSt
Charles Can’t tell if you’re trying to mock him or what.
Pony Express how is that racist you fool jfk and trump are similar in many ways you fool both are standing to the fed and both stood up to corruption so maybe you should take your hateful self to somewhere else that would love you like a communist country
What a maim, what an underlining... A master of doing speeches
JFK seriously had one of the greatest pieces ot wisdom ever: “Why does Rice play Texas?”
So many lessons from such a seemingly simple statement.
The last man who ever walked on the moon was the FIRST scientist on the Moon. All the others were military officers. That says something about general tendency of our species...
The very best of the very best this GREAT man. 💔
I love this speech. It's inspiring.
50 years today 🇺🇸
the moon landings could have gone further if jfk wasnt assasinated and we would be alot further along than we are right now and america would be a different place and run differently than it does now and technology and space exploration would be the norm now at its early stages but still better than nothing 50years later where we are now think of the possibilities if he lived it would be whole lot better than it is now
crazy how they were able to put this in RUclips back in the 60s.
lmfao
8:50 wow so inspiring 👏
The Great speech of all Humankind, never get enough of watch it.
17:22 Gang Starr - Above the Clouds
So sad that America went from this to Trump. What a shame 😢
Saad Al-Abdulla jews
You got it wrong! From this to LBJ! We have been lost ever since! 55000 vets died with him in VEITNAM !
Trump is good though
@@bluecloudgaming1563 are you stupid
@@JulesD92 Nah, he's good. CNN and MSNBC won't tell you that though because he doesn't act according to their values, and plus, money.
@SnowboardPlata Science is the reason why this country is number one around the world. We just need to keep our pace in the race of developing better science.
"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hawd."
Is that LBJ in the background? What a world we would all be living in if he had not assassinated JFK
I wish we had a president capable of standing up and announcing bigger space budgets instead of quiet slashes. Every dollar spent on the Apollo program generated thousands in new technology, industry, and patents.
It was hard looking at this at first, after finding out why he was blown apart in broad daylight and who was behind it. My only hope is that he won't prove to be America's last real president.
Aspiring to travel to the moon or to Mars was once considered a courageous and noble thing. In 2012, when Newt Gingrich, citing JFK as an inspiration, talked about a manned mission to Mars or a colony on the moon, he was ridiculed. Times have indeed changed, not the least of which is the financial condition of the country compared to what it was in 1962.
i'm confused, is the title of the speech moon speech or we chose to go to the moon? i need to know for my bibliography
Wheres the “above the clouds” part sampled by Gang Starr. Love this speech btw. So many great philosophical points
I come here when i'm politically drained from this fucking travesty of a president we have now.
Yes me too.
That Boston accent brings joy to my heart as he speaks about going to the moon
Thank You President Kennedy. You were not perfect, as so many wish to believe and place you high on a pedestal, but you were a good man, a good President. A President of strength and character who cared about the well being of people, the future of our nation and our species. You accomplished much in your short time in office and had the foresight to chose an excellent successor. I hope some day soon there will come a day when more leaders emerge like you.
This is true work of JFK ❤
We choose to build a wall in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard,....
lol Imagin this so each from Trump. "we are going to build the best rocket, the best, it's going to be great l, huge biggest rocket ever built, cause you know who builds great rockets? I do. it's gonna be huge and it's going to be fast. fantastic.
It's frightening how relevant this still is.
My fav speech any US president has ever given. Awesome stuff! Shame the US has fallen so foul of this dream.
I must say that I have watched and listened to several of Kennedy's speeches and it's hard to say which one is best. They were all well said and done. I like this one though because he challenged America to lead and win the space race. Kennedy is the one who really got NASA started and inspired us to explore space. I'm honored that he came to Houston, Texas to give his speech and to make Houston NASA's home. Most importantly, he said we would go to the moon in the 60s and we did in 1969. It's truly a disgrace and a tragedy that he was killed. Kennedy was, is and always will be one of the best U.S. presidents of all time. He was an excellent communicator and an exceptional leader. He made his share of mistakes but overall he did a good job. When he spoke almost everyone paid attention. An exception was Johnson. I noticed in this and in other speeches Kennedy gave that Johnson was only half paying attention. He was always jealous of Kennedy and I think he was very disrespectful to him most of the time. Again, Kennedy really got the space program going and it's a damn shame it had to end because of Obama. Obama killed it. Johnson and Obama will never be as good as Kennedy. Johnson was half good and half bad and Obama is a joke. Not only that, Obama is the worst president ever. Kennedy is the best president in the last 100 years and a one of the top 10 presidents of all time.
Of course we were unrespectful to him! Some dummy shot him!! If we still had him, we wouldnt be going to the troubles we have today. (Mostly)
we choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because it is hard.
In my honest opinion, I would definitely have to say that this is still to this day 1 of my favorite #PresidentialSpeeches.
He died in my town 😓
I find it sad that this is the last Presidential Speech that truly motivated me. I would also like to add that these were all "Made in the USA". So don't ever tell me "It can't be done" here at home.
You have to obtain a director account, which you would pay for, of course. YT has to "approve" your application for director account as well, if I'm not mistaken.
I understand, my point was an empire can be a democracy, such as ancient Greece, but yes they are generally an oligarchy, monarchy or some form of dictatorship.
This was man kinds proudest hour...not caring if it was due to space race..
he would’ve been so happy to see so many things happen. we miss you.
To imagine the great unknown at that time, and all of the fruits of its labor that came from it.
Imagine centuries into the future when we might master space travel people look back to this speech that started it all.
raterake million years from now space will never be mastered. cause it is not real.
ice- cold_ say what??
You see that man right there? Thats a real american. there not a whole lot of people like him left. Kennedy was the best god damn president this country ever had and dont you fucking forget it.
This may be a dumb comment to leave after viewing such a good and substantive speech about our efforts in space at the time. However, I believe the Rice speech may be one of the only - if not the only - surviving color videotapes of JFK. I know it's degraded (Sept. 1962) from the many copies that have been made since, but it does look like it was from a color TV broadcast. If anybody has any insight about this - including if I'm wrong and this is film - I'd be happy to hear reply comments.
But why does Rice play Texas???
