How does President Kennedy describe the history of human innovation?

47 years ago [20th July 1969] one giant leap for mankind was taken. Was it the direct result of President Kennedy's challenge to put a man on the moon before the decade was out? Excerpts of his Special Message, that he delivered in person before a joint session of Congress May 25, 1961, to the Congress on Urgent National Needs would suggest yes.
