1
00:00:03,669 --> 00:00:02,070
many years ago

2
00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:03,679
the great british explorer george

3
00:00:07,030 --> 00:00:04,880
mallory

4
00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:07,040
who was to die

5
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:09,440
on mount everest was asked why did he

6
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:10,960
want to climb it

7
00:00:14,549 --> 00:00:12,960
he said because it is there

8
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:14,559
well space is there

9
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:17,039
and we're going to climb it and the moon

10
00:00:21,590 --> 00:00:19,520
and the planets are there and new hopes

11
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:21,600
for knowledge and peace are there

12
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:24,400
and therefore as we set sail

13
00:00:27,670 --> 00:00:26,160
we ask god's blessing

14
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:27,680
on the most hazardous

15
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:28,960
and dangerous

16
00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:30,400
and greatest adventure

17
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:37,270
the soviets at that time had been

18
00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:39,360
bragging to the world

19
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:41,600
that they were superior in

20
00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:43,840
technology and communism was the wave of

21
00:00:47,670 --> 00:00:46,160
the future and we didn't believe that we

22
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,680
had thought that we were

23
00:01:04,869 --> 00:00:49,440
we were probably going to be able to be

24
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:06,469
john f kennedy

25
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:08,640
it was his vision

26
00:01:16,789 --> 00:01:10,560
his edict

27
00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:20,070
when he asked us to do that in 1961

28
00:01:25,350 --> 00:01:22,640
it was impossible

29
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:25,360
and we made it possible we the united

30
00:01:44,389 --> 00:01:39,109
all

31
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,469
the dramatic achievements in space which

32
00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:48,560
occurred in recent weeks

33
00:01:54,149 --> 00:01:50,880
should have made clear to us all

34
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:54,159
as did the sputnik in 1957

35
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,680
the impact

36
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:57,600
of this adventure

37
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:00,159
on the minds of men everywhere

38
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:01,680
who are attempting to make a

39
00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:04,320
determination of which road they should

40
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:05,600
take

41
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:09,039
since early in my term our efforts in

42
00:02:11,910 --> 00:02:10,000
space

43
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:11,920
have been under review

44
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,160
with the advice of the vice president

45
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:15,840
who is chairman of the national space

46
00:02:19,110 --> 00:02:17,040
council

47
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:19,120
we have examined where we are strong and

48
00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,720
where we are not

49
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:22,800
where we may succeed and where we may

50
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:24,080
not

51
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:27,360
now it is time to take longer strides

52
00:02:33,430 --> 00:02:30,560
time for a great new american enterprise

53
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:33,440
time for this nation to take a clearly

54
00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:34,720
leading role

55
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:36,400
in space achievement

56
00:02:46,710 --> 00:02:38,160
which in many ways

57
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:49,350
i believe we possess all the resources

58
00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:51,120
and talents necessary

59
00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:52,879
but the facts of the matter are that we

60
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:54,400
have never made

61
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:56,480
the national decisions or martial the

62
00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:59,120
national resources required for such

63
00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:00,319
leadership

64
00:03:04,949 --> 00:03:02,879
we have never specified long-range goals

65
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:04,959
on an urgent time schedule

66
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:08,000
or managed our resources and our time so

67
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:10,560
as to ensure their fulfillment

68
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:12,480
i believe that this nation should commit

69
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:13,519
itself

70
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:15,440
to achieving the goal

71
00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:17,440
before this decade is out

72
00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:19,200
of landing a man on the moon and

73
00:03:25,030 --> 00:03:22,159
returning him safely to the earth

74
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,040
no single space project in this period

75
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:27,680
will be more impressive to mankind or

76
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,440
more important for the long-range

77
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,280
exploration of space
