【正文】 than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soonrise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for everyman, woman and child in the United States, for we have given this program a high nationalpriorityeven though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for wedo not now know what benefits await us. But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shallsend to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocketmore than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some ofwhich have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times morethan have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finestwatch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control,munications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, andthen return it safely to earth, reentering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles perhour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sunalmost as hot as it is heretodayand do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is outthen we mustbe bold.

Well, space is there, and weamp。39。re going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, andnew hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask Godamp。39。sblessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man hasever embarked.
Thank you
