space promise high costs and hardships as well as high reward so it is not 526 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:52,480 as well as high reward so it is not 527 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,680 as well as high reward so it is not surprising that some would have us stay 528 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:55,690 surprising that some would have us stay 529 00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:59,340 surprising that some would have

that all great and honourable actions 551 00:18:37,679 --> 00:18:40,549 that all great and honourable actions are accompanied with great difficulties 552 00:18:40,549 --> 00:18:40,559 are accompanied with great difficulties 553 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:45,169 are accompanied with great difficulties and both must be enterprise and overcome 554 00:18:45,169 --> 00:18:45,179 and both must be enterprise and overcome 555 00:18:45,179 --> 00:18:49,279 and both must be enterprise and overcome with answerable courage if this capsule 556 00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:49,289 with answerable courage if this capsule 557 00:18:49,289 --> 00:18:51,080 with answerable courage if this capsule history of our progress teaches us 558 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:51,090 history of our progress teaches us 559 00:18:51,090 --> 00:18:54,470 history of our progress teaches us anything it is that man in his quest for 560 00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:54,480 anything it is that man in his quest for 561 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,659 anything it is that man in his quest for knowledge and progress is determined and 562 00:18:56,659 --> 00:18:56,669 knowledge and progress is determined and 563 00:18:56,669 --> 00:19:00,169 knowledge and progress is determined and cannot be deterred the exploration of 564 00:19:00,169 --> 00:19:00,179 cannot be deterred the exploration of 565 00:19:00,179 --> 00:19:03,499 cannot be deterred the exploration of space will go ahead whether we join in 566 00:19:03,499 --> 00:19:03,509 space will go ahead whether we join in 567 00:19:03,509 --> 00:19:06,799 space will go ahead whether we join in it or not and it is one of the great 568 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:06,809 it or not and it is one of the great 569 00:19:06,809 --> 00:19:10,269 it or not and it is one of the great adventures of all time and no nation 570 00:19:10,269 --> 00:19:10,279 adventures of all time and no nation 571 00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:13,519 adventures of all time and no nation which expects to be the leader of other 572 00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:13,529 which expects to be the leader of other 573 00:19:13,529 --> 00:19:16,279 which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in 574 00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:16,289 nations can expect to stay behind in 575 00:19:16,289 --> 00:19:19,879 nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space those who came 576 00:19:19,879 --> 00:19:19,889 this race for space those who came 577 00:19:19,889 --> 00:19:23,450 this race for space those who came before us made certain that this country 578 00:19:23,450 --> 00:19:23,460 before us made certain that this country 579 00:19:23,460 --> 00:19:26,450 before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the Industrial 580 00:19:26,450 --> 00:19:26,460 rode the first waves of the Industrial 581 00:19:26,460 --> 00:19:29,239 rode the first waves of the Industrial Revolution the first waves of modern 582 00:19:29,239 --> 00:19:29,249 Revolution the first waves of modern 583 00:19:29,249 --> 00:19:31,909 Revolution the first waves of modern invention and the first wave of nuclear 584 00:19:31,909 --> 00:19:31,919 invention and the

we shall not see 605 00:20:17,970 --> 00:20:20,930 peace we evolved that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass 606 00:20:20,930 --> 00:20:20,940 space filled with weapons of mass 607 00:20:20,940 --> 00:20:23,570 space filled with weapons of mass destruction but with instruments of 608 00:20:23,570 --> 00:20:23,580 destruction but with instruments of 609 00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:27,170 destruction but with instruments of knowledge and understanding yet the vows 610 00:20:27,170 --> 00:20:27,180 knowledge and understanding yet the vows 611 00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:31,340

on this 632 00:21:10,850 --> 00:21:10,860 spacefaring nation we set sail on this 633 00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:13,700 spacefaring nation we set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge 634 00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:13,710 new sea because there is new knowledge 635 00:21:13,710 --> 00:21:17,120 new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained and new rights to be won 636 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:17,130 to be gained and new rights to be won 637 00:21:17,130 --> 00:21:21,020 to be gained and new rights to be won and they must be won and used for the 638 00:21:21,020 --> 00:21:21,030 and they must be won and used for the 639 00:21:21,030 --> 00:21:24,580 and they must be won and used for the progress of all people for space science 640 00:21:24,580 --> 00:21:24,590 progress of all people for space science 641 00:21:24,590 --> 00:21:27,560 progress of all people for space science like nuclear science and all technology 642 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:27,570 like nuclear science and all technology 643 00:21:27,570 --> 00:21:31,610 like nuclear science and all technology has no conscience of its own whether it 644 00:21:31,610 --> 00:21:31,620 has no conscience of its own whether it 645 00:21:31,620 --> 00:21:34,040 has no conscience of its own whether it will become a force for good or ill 646 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:34,050 will become a force for good or ill 647 00:21:34,050 --> 00:21:37,580 will become a force for good or ill depends on man and only if the United 648 00:21:37,580 --> 00:21:37,590 depends on man and only if the United 649 00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:40,850 depends on man and only if the United States occupies a position of 650 00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:40,860 States occupies a position of 651 00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:45,560 States occupies a position of preeminence can we help decide whether 652 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:45,570 preeminence can we help decide whether 653 00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:48,950 preeminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or 654 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:48,960 this new ocean will be a sea of peace or 655 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,050 this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war I do not 656 00:21:54,050 --> 00:21:54,060 a new terrifying theater of war I do not 657 00:21:54,060 --> 00:21:56,380 a new terrifying theater of war I do not say that we should or will go 658 00:21:56,380 --> 00:21:56,390 say that we should or will go 659 00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:59,990 say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse 660 00:21:59,990 --> 00:22:00,000 unprotected against the hostile misuse 661 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,700 unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected 662 00:22:03,700 --> 00:22:03,710 of space any more than we go unprotected 663 00:22:03,710 --> 00:22:07,210 of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea 664 00:22:07,210 --> 00:22:07,220 against the hostile use of land or sea 665 00:22:07,220 --> 00:22:10,250 against the hostile use of land or sea but I do say that space can be explored 666 00:22:10,250 --> 00:22:10,260 but I do say that space can be explored 667 00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:14,150 but I do say that space can be explored and nasty without feeding the fires of 668 00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:14,160 and nasty without feeding the fires of 669 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,180 and nasty without feeding the fires of war without repeating the mistakes that 670 00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:17,190 war without repeating the mistakes that 671 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:20,300 war without repeating the mistakes that man is made in extending his writ around 672 00:22:20,300 --> 00:22:20,310 man is made in extending his writ around 673 00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:21,710 man is made in extending his writ around this globe of ours 674 00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:21,720 this globe of ours 675 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,430 this globe of ours there is no strife no prejudice no 676 00:22:25,430 --> 00:22:25,440 there is no strife no prejudice no 677 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,050 there is no strife no prejudice no national conflict in outer space as yet 678 00:22:29,050 --> 00:22:29,060 national conflict in outer space as yet 679 00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:32,990 national conflict in outer space as yet its hazards a hostile to us all its 680 00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:33,000 its hazards a hostile to us all its 681 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,420 its hazards a hostile to us all its conquest deserves the best of all 682 00:22:35,420 --> 00:22:35,430 conquest deserves the best of all 683 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:39,380 conquest deserves the best of all mankind and its opportunity for peaceful 684 00:22:39,380 --> 00:22:39,390 mankind and its opportunity for peaceful 685 00:22:39,390 --> 00:22:42,980 mankind and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again but why 686 00:22:42,980 --> 00:22:42,990 cooperation may never come again but why 687 00:22:42,990 --> 00:22:46,730 cooperation may never come again but why some say the moon I choose this as our 688 00:22:46,730 --> 00:22:46,740 some say the moon I choose this as our 689 00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:50,900 some say the moon I choose this as our goal and they may well ask why climb the 690 00:22:50,900 --> 00:22:50,910 goal and they may well ask why climb the 691 00:22:50,910 --> 00:22:52,100 goal and they may well ask why climb the highest mountain 692 00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:52,110 highest mountain 693 00:22:52,110 --> 00:22:56,250 highest mountain why 35 years ago fly the Atlantic 694 00:22:56,250 --> 00:22:56,260 why 35 years ago fly the Atlantic 695 00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:59,850 why 35 years ago fly the Atlantic why does Rice play Texas we choose to go 696 00:22:59,850 --> 00:22:59,860 why does Rice play Texas we choose to go 697 00:22:59,860 --> 00:23:08,790 why does Rice play Texas we choose to go to the moon we choose to go to the moon 698 00:23:08,790 --> 00:23:08,800 699 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,700 we choose to go to the moon in this 700 00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:11,710 we choose to go to the moon in this 701 00:23:11,710 --> 00:23:13,830 we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not 702 00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:13,840 decade and do the other things not 703 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,770 decade and do the other things not because they are easy but because they 704 00:23:16,770 --> 00:23:16,780 because they are easy but because they 705 00:23:16,780 --> 00:23:20,670 because they are easy but because they are hard because that goal will serve to 706 00:23:20,670 --> 00:23:20,680 are hard because that goal will serve to 707 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,730 are hard because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our 708 00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:23,740 organize and measure the best of our 709 00:23:23,740 --> 00:23:25,950 organize and measure the best of our energies and skills because that 710 00:23:25,950 --> 00:23:25,960 energies and skills because that 711 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,200 energies and skills because that challenge is one that we're willing to 712 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:28,210 challenge is one that we're willing to 713 00:23:28,210 --> 00:23:31,140 challenge is one that we're willing to accept one we are unwilling to postpone 714 00:23:31,140 --> 00:23:31,150 accept one we are unwilling to postpone 715 00:23:31,150 --> 00:23:34,830 accept one we are unwilling to postpone and one we intend to win and the others 716 00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:34,840 and one we intend to win and the others 717 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:49,560 and one we intend to win and the others too it is for these reasons that I 718 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:49,570 too it is for these reasons that I 719 00:23:49,570 --> 00:23:52,620 too it is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift 720 00:23:52,620 --> 00:23:52,630 regard the decision last year to shift 721 00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:55,320 regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high 722 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:55,330 our efforts in space from low to high 723 00:23:55,330 --> 00:23:57,990 our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important 724 00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:58,000 gear as among the most important 725 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,330 gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my 726 00:24:00,330 --> 00:24:00,340 decisions that will be made during my 727 00:24:00,340 --> 00:24:01,830 decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the 728 00:24:01,830 --> 00:24:01,840 incumbency in the office of the 729 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,880 incumbency in the office of the presidency in the last 24 hours we have 730 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:05,890 presidency in the last 24 hours we have 731 00:24:05,890 --> 00:24:08,880 presidency in the last 24 hours we have seen

think we're going to do it and 984 00:30:53,330 --> 00:30:53,340 however I think we're going to do it and 985 00:30:53,340 --> 00:30:56,030 however I think we're going to do it and I think that we must pay what needs to 986 00:30:56,030 --> 00:30:56,040 I think that we must pay what needs to 987 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,040 I think that we must pay what needs to be paid I don't think we ought to waste 988 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:58,050 be paid I don't think we ought to waste 989 00:30:58,050 --> 00:30:59,660 be paid I don't think we ought to waste any money but I think we ought to do the 990 00:30:59,660 --> 00:30:59,670 any money but I think we ought to do the 991 00:30:59,670 --> 00:31:02,330 any money but I think we ought to do the job and this will be done in the decade 992
