In his 1962 speech about going to the Moon, President John F. Kennedy referenced the explorer’s ethos, calling the mission “one of the great adventures of all time.” Yet during a period of conflict with the Soviet Union, Kennedy offered a more sober, pragmatic reason to go to space.
“For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace,” Kennedy said.
