pliers are no longer able

to Greatness

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade.
Not because it will be easy, but because it will
be hard. And because that goal will serve to
organize and measure the best of our energies
and skills. Because the challenge is one we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to post-
pone, and one we intend to win." — John F.
Kennedy, Rice University, September 12, 1962.

example of peacetime cooperative partnership

based on positive achievement not only for our
country but for all mankind
