First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the m
oon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more impo
rtant for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. We propose to accelerate 
the development of the appropriate lunar space craft. We propose to develop alternate liquid and solid fuel boosters, much larger 
than any now being developed, until certain which is superior. We propose additional funds for other engine development and for un
manned explorations--explorations which are particularly important for one purpose which this nation will never overlook: the surv
ival of the man who first makes this daring flight. But in a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon--if we make
 this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.First, I believe that this nat
