Reread paragraph 2 of this speech excerpt. What was President
Kennedy's main reason for writing this paragraph?
to describe what a
spacecraft going to the
moon would be like
But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to
the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in
Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length
of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of
which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat
and stresses several times more than have ever been
experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the
finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for
propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and
survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial
body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the
atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour,
causing heat about half that of the temperature of the
sun-almost as hot as it is here today-and do all this, and
do it right, and do it first before this decade is out-then we
must be bold,
to explain that a moon
mission would be an amazing
feat that required boldness
to convince U. S. citizens to
consider a career related to
space exploration
to warn U. S. citizens that
Sending a spacecraft to the
moon and back would be
dangerous
