September 12, 1962
President John F Kennedy offered this vision for our country: Go to the moon!
( reference: https://youtu.be/g25G1M4EXrQ )
"We choose to go to the moon," the president said.
"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."

We aimed for the moon.
And before the end of the decade,
we hit our target.

That's one small step for [a] man,
one giant leap for mankind
