@@michaelcolfin8464 Aaallright, I got a question as to why you assumed either of us are retarded. We just commented on the wording, not the meaning, Christ.
Even as a proud Republican, i consider JFK to be one of the greatest presidents and finest gentlemen in history Rest in Peace John Fitzgerald Kennedy 1917-1963
I am a Democrat and Teddy Roosevelt (Republican) is one of my favorite presidents. The truth is we have more in common then the parties' bigwigs would like us to realize. The media companies broadcast their flavors of propaganda (every cable News channel) so the billionaires can continue to mooch off the rest of us and grow fat. Kennedy and Roosevelt were both amazing presidents who fought for the common American
This speech has always been one of my favorites. Inspiring words to have hope for the future, to leap beyond our own limitation, never be afraid to dream, and believe that there always possibilities.The sad thing is no one talks or thinks like that anymore.
This was a tipping point in the history and future of humanity, and it will always be seen as such. JFK an imperfect man no doubt, but he shows what even an average man can achieve with the right attitude. (I know his father bankrolled his career but he only did that because he knew Jack was worth it, and it only actually worked because the public could see it too.) It’s weird to miss a man you never met, who died 30 years before I was born. The fact he still inspires in 2021 says something.
Humanity is made up of all kinds of men and women. Some of them are lowly creatures, with lowly thoughts of cruelty and jealousy. Most are just decent people trying to get by in life. But some, some special few, are made of something else. There is a curious light in their eyes, a nobility of spirit which compels all who know them. They have a purpose, and will not be deterred by lesser minds which would hold them back with fear and ignorance. JFK was one such man.
Robert Brown Your mind creates very intriguing thoughts my friend. In times of seeing the negatives of being an outsider, I really needed to hear something like this. ( I apologize in advance for my awful english, i am indeed a non-native english speaker)
+Young ADV Now, I'm an American and it may have been our ship, but landing on the Moon was a human achievement, the culmination of thousands of years of wondering and studying. When I read about space exploration it makes me damn proud to be a human.
What an amazing, powerful, and underrated orator John F. Kennedy was! This is probably the most impactful speech I've ever seen or heard. It's such a pity he wasn't there to see it, all thanks to Lee Oswald, that senseless rascal. It's also very enlightening to see that in the middle of the cold war, he thought about how to help his country advance even in space exploration. Hats off to you, Kennedy!
3 years of a 4 year term and arguable, the moon shot surpasses all other accomplishments, not only of previous presidents. but all other accomplishments in mankinds existence.
I always remember this speech, when someone tells me, that something doesn‘t work or it‘s impossible. I am born in 82, long after this speech. It is still strikingly to me
I'm proud my last name is the same as his. To share a link in heritage with one of the greatest presidents in USA history. Even though we're not directly related. Thousands of years ago we might have been one family and that is a great thought.
50 years ago today, one of the last great leaders (perhaps the very last one) was brutally murdered by those who opposed his ideas and actions for a peaceful world. Even though I was not even born when this happened I cannot help but to feel sad, specially today. There is something about JFK that I find fascinating since I was about 10 years old when I first learned about him. I love his charisma, the way he carried himself, even that powerful, positive, contagious energy when he spoke. My generation and those to come owe him a great deal. Thanks to you, we landed human beings on the moon, thanks to you we did not go to war. Though you were physically taken, because you were ahead of your time, your ideals, your wishes and your desires for the United States of America and society at large are very much still alive. Mr. President, thank you for giving me so many good things to emulate. You are and will forever continue to be my favorite one.
Imagine if someone like Jed Bush said this. It would put people to sleep. But those same simple lines delivered by a very handsome and charismatic man, a bold leader with a powerful voice, it really moves you!!!
When people say this speech makes them proud to be an American I laugh and say "this speech doesn't make me proud to be an American it makes me proud to be a human" cause that what apollo 11 was it wasn't Americas greatest achievement it was humanity's greatest achievement
King Of Flirt If you're an Apollo denier then you're too stupid to listen to. Can't tell if you were being sarcastic so I'll give you benefit of the doubt.
Just as any famous quote from Apollo 11, this brings tears to my eyes. For hundreds of thousands of years, people from all over the world looked up at the moon, and John F Kennedy became the person that decided it was time to do something no one had ever done before, to not just look up but to actually touch the moon. It's just beautiful
Yes, but he was also freaked out by the Soviets putting a satellite in space. It wasn’t just beauty and science and exploration, it was also hubris and paranoia. It came together to create something quite extraordinary - I quote this part of his speech to my kids to teach them about being resilient and ambitious and courageous. They are only 7 and 11 but I hope they instil these values within themselves as they grow older. I can’t listen to it without welling up.
JFK is my eternal idol in terms of politics... I am from Europe... this was and is a such a great man... A GREAT MAN... THIS IS MY FAVORITE SPEECH EVER... IT SHOWS WHAT THE HUMAN SPIRIT REALLY IS... I think that the world will wait for a long time to have president like this... no matter which country... JFK REST IN PEACE, THEY HAVE KILLED YOU, BUT THEY WILL NEVER KILL YOUR MESSAGE. Greets
In germany it was the man „Helmut Schmidt“ who got considered as the german JFK. Maybe the best leader Germany had. He was „president“ for 8 years. (1974-1982)
Being 23 years old, as a man, I feel I have accomplished nothing in life, no degree, no career. JFK inspired me with this speech that I’m not to late, I choose to go to the moon.
Its bring me in tears when I think that he never have the chance to see that, yes they go to the moon before the end of the decade... JFK deserved better. RIP John Fitzgerald Kennedy, always in our heart. The World missed you.
*The way he spoke of the difficulty and the significance of choosing to go to the Moon is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a American President.*
For everyone needing this in text: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.
Kennedy was an inspiring man. He give us a beautiful message for all humanity. Never stop dreaming. Thank you JFK, and thanks to the Nasa and all spatials programs for making space a new home for our children. 🌠
The single greatest achievement in human history. This. This is where it began. Our ancestors once asked if there were more to life than their forests. It is our duty to look up and ask the same. Ad astra!
1957 - USSR launches Sputnik, first artificial satellite in space 1957 - USSR launches Laika a first living animal to orbit Earth. 1961 - USSR launches Yuri Gagarin as the first man in space 1963 - USSR launches Valentina Tereshkova as the first lady in space 1965 - USSR Alexey Leonov is the first man to perform a space walk 1969 - USA Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin as first people on the moon 1971 - USSR launches world's 1st operational space station, Salyut 1 1979 - USA launches 1st space telescope, the Heao 1981 - USA launches first space shuttle
wut?! lmao I don't care who Won... those are just facts, that were achieved during the Space Race! but still there are some interesting things to learn out there, you know..maybe you should do it sometimes!! Also putting man on moon was one of the greatest achievements of humanity i know that!!...
Jebus Christ guys, this guy just listed out some of the milestones reached by humanity in space exploration. It's a simple fact that the USSR was winning the "space race" up until the point that the US managed to put a man on the moon which is a magnificent accomplishment that has been recognized as such. Why some people seem to think that he's belittling the US and feel the need to point out that they "won" is beyond me. Reaching space and then the moon was a victory for all mankind. It's an investment into our future and our way forward in the universe. It should be a way for us to see beyond petty national borders and small minded disputes.
My father saw the moon landing live in Paris...I am sad and envious because it must have been glorious to witness the most-viewed broadcast in history.
We did it, Dear President! I would have given everything I have for you to see. 50 years ago this day. July 20, 2019. Let`s celebrate Humanity. Eternal glory to everyone involved.
This speech is sort of a summary of why this generation is called the Greatest Generation. They were born or grown up just in time to see the world collapse into the Great Depression. And when it was looking like that couldn't get worse, some of the worst evil in human history started WWII and they put their lives on the line in that struggle. And after all that, when it was finally looking like a quiet, enjoyable life was within reach -- they said "Let's put a man on the Moon, that's an interesting challenge."
When people say this speech makes them proud to be an American I laugh and say "this speech doesn't make me proud to be an American it makes me proud to be a human" cause that what apollo 11 was it wasn't Americas greatest achievement it was humanity's greatest achievement.👌👌👌👌
This is the right message, it is about igniting the dreams of generations, forcing them to believe that it can be done, that as hard as it may be, is quite possible. This is the problem with current "leaders", they do not inspire anybody to do anything. Perhaps this speech would be of good purpose if played in schools, colleges, the workplace, etc. My favorite president with one of the greatest messages on this day 46 years ago when the great, late Niel Armstrong took the giant leap for mankind.
Mr. President, Thank you for igniting the dreams of a generation. Your words and charisma are now immortal. Thank you for giving mankind a reason to keep on going. You are and always will be my favorite President.
He was so charismatic and powerful, the perfect image of a president! Even Hollywood couldn’t produce something like this. God Bless you John F. Kennedy ♥️
We need to dream big Again, the obstacles presented for our species in this Century demands attention, invention, courage and willingness to set a new course without fossil fuels.
"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." ... with Xboxs, PS4s, smart phones, and lab tops... the next generation isn't going to have the drive the other American generations did :( and that's sad
The Addiction 2 my perspective is newer generations have become lazy, that they dont know what hard work is. There is no drive to achieve, no one is reaching for the impossible. The relevance is that in the 60s, man did the impossible by walking on the moon. Kennedy couldn't have said it any better, "they did it because it was hard". Do you see that kind of drive now ah days? Maybe in a few people but not a whole generation. Not a whole generation.
Gabriel Angelos I agree, to an extent. "This" generation lives in a different time, a time where the "hard" is impossible, not because they are challenges to win, but challenges which may never be won. Government, coporations, and knee jerk legislation over decades of time have eroded this once great nation to a squabbling ant hill with no direction. Except for the 'ones' running this.. world order. "This" generation is a byproduct of poor government over years of degradation with no help from 'your'generation.
I'm not American, I don't know the details of JFKs presidency or anything like that, but the incentive towards space exploration he promoted was key to a lot of scientific and academic progress. We need more people who look into the long term future like him nowadays. Maybe now SpaceX can create a new space race, who knows
+ACNC1 He mentions them just before he said that: "And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?" So those were the other things, the things they chose to do. Not because they were easy, but because they were hard.
President Kennedy wanted us to be able to go to the moon. I am so glad we were able to accomplish this wishing that he would be able to see his dream. This was a fantastic speech. No doubt, JFK was the greatest American president we have ever had.
"Setting the goal" was actually the subject of an address to Congress on May 25th 1961. This was the affirmation: "No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space. ... 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."
Gives me a lump in the throat and I’m not even American. I never met this man, never seen him with my own eyes and wasn’t even alive during his time on earth, yet I feel like I miss him.

We will send an absolutely YUUUGE rocket, half the size of my BEAUTIFUL tower in New York, to a celestial body that not many people know about. But we do. Those engineers, let me tell ya, absolute geniuses. Nobody has better engineers, not even Russia.

I've made great relations with Kim Jong Un and we would be great partners on the moon. We have the best diplomacy, we have the best resources, we have the best rockets, and we have the best computers.
my mother has told me that my grandfather cried when Kennedy was assassinated in '63. hearing these words I can believe it.
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go the moon and do the other things. Not because they are easy but, because they are hard."
Powerful stuff.
12 years ago. Do you remember typing this?
Just some gems from the auto-caption:
"All great inaudible action"
"St. Obama teaches us anything"
"The exploration of space no go ahead"
And as mentioned down below in a comment by Max Power:
"We need to go to the mall."
"WE CHOSE TO GO TO THE MALL!"
This is hilarious.
We choose to go to the mall!
We choose to go to the mall-
We choose to go to the mall in this decade and go shopping, not because it is exciting, but because it is boring!
it has since improved ;[
Yes, unfortunately, I've checked it too.
Still has some gems though: "Must be overcome with animal courage"

I love how he says "And to do the other things"
Slightly less formal, making it more meaningful.
What were the other things? I was to keep space free from weapons of war. Listen to the whole speech.
@@YuuyaKZMI He mentioned exactly what the other things were in an earlier part of the speech. IT was to keep space free of weapons of war.

Even as a proud Republican, i consider JFK to be one of the greatest presidents and finest gentlemen in history
Rest in Peace
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
1917-1963
I am a Democrat and Teddy Roosevelt (Republican) is one of my favorite presidents. The truth is we have more in common then the parties' bigwigs would like us to realize. The media companies broadcast their flavors of propaganda (every cable News channel) so the billionaires can continue to mooch off the rest of us and grow fat. Kennedy and Roosevelt were both amazing presidents who fought for the common American
In my view as a Republican, JFK was the last Democrat president who cared and loved America
If this happened today, the Democrats would throw JFK out of the party.
I’m a heard core republican but he’s one of my favorite presidents
@@acegibson9533 true. Dems today support hate speech laws and gun confiscation
This speech has always been one of my favorites. Inspiring words to have hope for the future, to leap beyond our own limitation, never be afraid to dream, and believe that there always possibilities.The sad thing is no one talks or thinks like that anymore.
It is a fine example of the bridge from what is possible, to what can be. And the inspiration and motivation to leap for it.
This is so amazing. Every time I hear this I get goosebumps and I tear up.
AsaaaaaaaAAAAaaaaA
This was a tipping point in the history and future of humanity, and it will always be seen as such.
JFK an imperfect man no doubt, but he shows what even an average man can achieve with the right attitude.
(I know his father bankrolled his career but he only did that because he knew Jack was worth it, and it only actually worked because the public could see it too.)
It’s weird to miss a man you never met, who died 30 years before I was born. The fact he still inspires in 2021 says something.
Humanity is made up of all kinds of men and women. Some of them are lowly creatures, with lowly thoughts of cruelty and jealousy. Most are just decent people trying to get by in life. But some, some special few, are made of something else. There is a curious light in their eyes, a nobility of spirit which compels all who know them. They have a purpose, and will not be deterred by lesser minds which would hold them back with fear and ignorance. JFK was one such man.
Robert Brown Your mind creates very intriguing thoughts my friend. In times of seeing the negatives of being an outsider, I really needed to hear something like this. ( I apologize in advance for my awful english, i am indeed a non-native english speaker)
I agree. Great words
These words are nice
Strongly disagree... he was a great speaker, but not a good President and certainly not a good man.

Oh fuck I'm Canadian.
+Young ADV Armenian? or Murican?
+Young ADV Now, I'm an American and it may have been our ship, but landing on the Moon was a human achievement, the culmination of thousands of years of wondering and studying. When I read about space exploration it makes me damn proud to be a human.
well you guys made most of the good computer generated cartoons, and that's almost as cool right?
It was Wernher Von Braun that made is possible. He created the V2 and without him the Americans wouldn't of gotten to the moon first.
wouldn't have... - and gotten! Gosh, your English!
What an amazing, powerful, and underrated orator John F. Kennedy was! This is probably the most impactful speech I've ever seen or heard. It's such a pity he wasn't there to see it, all thanks to Lee Oswald, that senseless rascal. It's also very enlightening to see that in the middle of the cold war, he thought about how to help his country advance even in space exploration.
Hats off to you, Kennedy!
To think lee Harvey Oswald was the sole Assassin is ignorance
Kennedy, the greatest president that America ever had! May God keep him in his glory.
Well... FDR was much more accomplished, though eh did have three terms, JFK only had half of his first.
3 years of a 4 year term and arguable, the moon shot surpasses all other accomplishments, not only of previous presidents. but all other accomplishments in mankinds existence.

I always remember this speech, when someone tells me, that something doesn‘t work or it‘s impossible. I am born in 82, long after this speech. It is still strikingly to me
Great speech when America was obsessed with technological progress instead of watching to the Kardashians all week.

I m from India....but I love Sir John F Kennedy ...His each and every word in the Moon speech makes a rush of adrenaline.....
I'm proud my last name is the same as his. To share a link in heritage with one of the greatest presidents in USA history. Even though we're not directly related. Thousands of years ago we might have been one family and that is a great thought.

Don't idolize..
“Not because it is easy, but because it is hard!” The biggest reason to do anything in the world
50 years ago today, one of the last great leaders (perhaps the very last one) was brutally murdered by those who opposed his ideas and actions for a peaceful world. Even though I was not even born when this happened I cannot help but to feel sad, specially today. There is something about JFK that I find fascinating since I was about 10 years old when I first learned about him. I love his charisma, the way he carried himself, even that powerful, positive, contagious energy when he spoke. My generation and those to come owe him a great deal. Thanks to you, we landed human beings on the moon, thanks to you we did not go to war. Though you were physically taken, because you were ahead of your time, your ideals, your wishes and your desires for the United States of America and society at large are very much still alive. Mr. President, thank you for giving me so many good things to emulate. You are and will forever continue to be my favorite one.
Imagine if someone like Jed Bush said this. It would put people to sleep. But those same simple lines delivered by a very handsome and charismatic man, a bold leader with a powerful voice, it really moves you!!!
When people say this speech makes them proud to be an American I laugh and say "this speech doesn't make me proud to be an American it makes me proud to be a human" cause that what apollo 11 was it wasn't Americas greatest achievement it was humanity's greatest achievement
kelly wilson whitehead Agreed. I live in the UK and this means an awful lot to me.
Yeah, but the rocket had a USA flag on it.
and still, they put the an american flag there... yeah ok.
plus it was faked anyways so it should actually make u feel ashamed
King Of Flirt If you're an Apollo denier then you're too stupid to listen to. Can't tell if you were being sarcastic so I'll give you benefit of the doubt.
Just as any famous quote from Apollo 11, this brings tears to my eyes. For hundreds of thousands of years, people from all over the world looked up at the moon, and John F Kennedy became the person that decided it was time to do something no one had ever done before, to not just look up but to actually touch the moon. It's just beautiful
Yes, but he was also freaked out by the Soviets putting a satellite in space. It wasn’t just beauty and science and exploration, it was also hubris and paranoia. It came together to create something quite extraordinary - I quote this part of his speech to my kids to teach them about being resilient and ambitious and courageous. They are only 7 and 11 but I hope they instil these values within themselves as they grow older. I can’t listen to it without welling up.
One of the best speeches ever delivered
this is the greatest speech ever televised
JFK is my eternal idol in terms of politics... I am from Europe... this was and is a such a great man... A GREAT MAN... THIS IS MY FAVORITE SPEECH EVER... IT SHOWS WHAT THE HUMAN SPIRIT REALLY IS... I think that the world will wait for a long time to have president like this... no matter which country... JFK REST IN PEACE, THEY HAVE KILLED YOU, BUT THEY WILL NEVER KILL YOUR MESSAGE. Greets
CroPETROforeverHR Lol I thought you said eternal IDIOT xD
The Machine Head lol
In germany it was the man „Helmut Schmidt“ who got considered as the german JFK. Maybe the best leader Germany had. He was „president“ for 8 years. (1974-1982)
This speech makes me almost cry because we will never see another politician like him ever again
This speech gives me goosebumps decades later.
Being 23 years old, as a man, I feel I have accomplished nothing in life, no degree, no career. JFK inspired me with this speech that I’m not to late, I choose to go to the moon.
In 1993, this was the first video I saw on a computer. To me, it was amazing as a new technology, and Kennedy was so gripping on it!
Truly one of the greatest speeches in history.
Its bring me in tears when I think that he never have the chance to see that, yes they go to the moon before the end of the decade... JFK deserved better. RIP John Fitzgerald Kennedy, always in our heart. The World missed you.
Another one of mankind's greatest achievements... The crew of Apollo 13 safely returned to earth despite all opposition. A true miracle.
I remember hearing this for the first time when I was about 5, always been my favorite ever since!
*The way he spoke of the difficulty and the significance of choosing to go to the Moon is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a American President.*
For everyone needing this in text:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.
Spinetingling every time. No matter how often I've seen the series, that opening with the speech and the theme, never fails.
And today we receive the image for the James Webb telescope.....Glory to Knowledge, Glory to Science, God bless Humanity!
Imagine if anyone who claims to be a leader today was to speak with such undeniable conviction.
Turn on the auto captions at 1:33 it says "We choose to go to the mall"
"Not because they are easy but because they are hot"

Anyone after India's Chandrayan 3 success.🇮🇳💯
Yes
The single greatest achievement in human history. This. This is where it began. Our ancestors once asked if there were more to life than their forests. It is our duty to look up and ask the same. Ad astra!
1957 - USSR launches Sputnik, first artificial satellite in space
1957 - USSR launches Laika a first living animal to orbit Earth.
1961 - USSR launches Yuri Gagarin as the first man in space
1963 - USSR launches Valentina Tereshkova as the first lady in space
1965 - USSR Alexey Leonov is the first man to perform a space walk
1969 - USA Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin as first people on the moon
1971 - USSR launches world's 1st operational space station, Salyut 1
1979 - USA launches 1st space telescope, the Heao
1981 - USA launches first space shuttle
wut?! lmao I don't care who Won... those are just facts, that were achieved during the Space Race! but still there are some interesting things to learn out there, you know..maybe you should do it sometimes!!
Also putting man on moon was one of the greatest achievements of humanity i know that!!...
Well we got humans 299,000 million miles farther than the USSR so...
***** Don't think that has Anything to do with the space program!!...but ok?
Minecraft In Color 239,000 miles from the Earth's atmosphere to the Moon.
Jebus Christ guys, this guy just listed out some of the milestones reached by humanity in space exploration. It's a simple fact that the USSR was winning the "space race" up until the point that the US managed to put a man on the moon which is a magnificent accomplishment that has been recognized as such. Why some people seem to think that he's belittling the US and feel the need to point out that they "won" is beyond me.
Reaching space and then the moon was a victory for all mankind. It's an investment into our future and our way forward in the universe. It should be a way for us to see beyond petty national borders and small minded disputes.
My father saw the moon landing live in Paris...I am sad and envious because it must have been glorious to witness the most-viewed broadcast in history.
We did it, Dear President!
I would have given everything I have for you to see.
50 years ago this day. July 20, 2019. Let`s celebrate Humanity.
Eternal glory to everyone involved.
Hugo Oliva don’t celebrate that we went to the moon 50 years ago. Celebrate that we plan to go back to the moon 5 years from now.
This speech is sort of a summary of why this generation is called the Greatest Generation. They were born or grown up just in time to see the world collapse into the Great Depression. And when it was looking like that couldn't get worse, some of the worst evil in human history started WWII and they put their lives on the line in that struggle. And after all that, when it was finally looking like a quiet, enjoyable life was within reach -- they said "Let's put a man on the Moon, that's an interesting challenge."
Good God, Now that is a President!! Makes me proud to be an American!!
I envy the people who lived in a time with such passion and hope. Everything is just getting worse today😢
We need this ambitious spirit again. We need to go back to the moon. We must go to the planets beyond. And further.
When people say this speech makes them proud to be an American I laugh and say "this speech doesn't make me proud to be an American it makes me proud to be a human" cause that what apollo 11 was it wasn't Americas greatest achievement it was humanity's greatest achievement.👌👌👌👌

lmaomholy shit fuck off
and in year 2017 we got trump
I bet when those brave astronauts landed on the moon were thinking "we did it Mr. Kennedy
This is the right message, it is about igniting the dreams of generations, forcing them to believe that it can be done, that as hard as it may be, is quite possible. This is the problem with current "leaders", they do not inspire anybody to do anything. Perhaps this speech would be of good purpose if played in schools, colleges, the workplace, etc. My favorite president with one of the greatest messages on this day 46 years ago when the great, late Niel Armstrong took the giant leap for mankind.
The best speech and most emotional , and it was in my birthday, 50 years ago...
Really touching. Inspired me and still do.
We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because I am hard

What a great speech. Really makes me think if they can send a man to the moon what's stopping me from achieving my goals.
We need to dream big Again, the obstacles presented for our species in this Century demands attention, invention, courage and willingness to set a new course without fossil fuels.
Einheriar true dat
I just happened to watch this on the 60th anniversary of this speech
I er em like your funny words magic man!
Happy decade and a half anniversary of upload!
"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." ... with Xboxs, PS4s, smart phones, and lab tops... the next generation isn't going to have the drive the other American generations did :( and that's sad
Everything was hard yesterday, everything is hard today.
The main drive was the Cold War, though. Not so sad.
Gabriel Angelos I don't see the relevance exactly, but, hey, maybe logic has some manner of perspective?
The Addiction 2 my perspective is newer generations have become lazy, that they dont know what hard work is. There is no drive to achieve, no one is reaching for the impossible. The relevance is that in the 60s, man did the impossible by walking on the moon. Kennedy couldn't have said it any better, "they did it because it was hard". Do you see that kind of drive now ah days? Maybe in a few people but not a whole generation. Not a whole generation.
Gabriel Angelos I agree, to an extent. "This" generation lives in a different time, a time where the "hard" is impossible, not because they are challenges to win, but challenges which may never be won. Government, coporations, and knee jerk legislation over decades of time have eroded this once great nation to a squabbling ant hill with no direction. Except for the 'ones' running this.. world order. "This" generation is a byproduct of poor government over years of degradation with no help from 'your'generation.
Thanks for putting the theme of "From the Earth to the Moon" over the video :) It makes it so much better!
The feels ! Just look at the crowd's reaction
I'm not American, I don't know the details of JFKs presidency or anything like that, but the incentive towards space exploration he promoted was key to a lot of scientific and academic progress. We need more people who look into the long term future like him nowadays. Maybe now SpaceX can create a new space race, who knows
'we choose to go to the moon by the end of the decade and do the other thing'
What was the other thing?
And do the other things
+ACNC1 Like, leading a country and stuff.
+ACNC1 He mentions them just before he said that: "And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?"

Everytime I get an itch to maybe sell I come watch this and remember we're all riding gme to the moon. LET'S GO!!!!

"Setting the goal" was actually the subject of an address to Congress on May 25th 1961. This was the affirmation: "No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space. ... 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."
