It's so strange to hear a US President talking so passionately about the importance of human space travel. It feels like I'm looking at an alternate universe.

Sometimes when I'm depressed, and lack motivation. I listen to JFK, and suddenly feel on top of the world.

Whoever had to speak after President Kennedy must have been shitting his pants during that standing ovation.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouRbkBAOGEw&t=504">8:24</a> "..But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?<br>We choose to go to the moon. 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."

One of the greatest speeches in all of human history, and will be remembered for many hundred years of space exploration to come.
