On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy announces to Congress his goal of sending an American to the moon by the end of the decade and asks for financial support of an accelerated space program. He made the task a national priority and a mission in which all Americans would share, stating that it will not be one man going to the moon—it will be an entire nation.

JFK was a great President with a great vision, how things may have been better if he'd not been taken so soon.

Taken far too soon. Such a visionary is incredibly rare, we don’t have that now…
