JFK: To the moon!
To honor the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, I’ve gone back to John F. Kennedy’s famous, electrifying speech at Rice University, where he first proposes going to the moon by the end of the 1960s. The animation’s after the cut…enjoy!
It’s an amazing speech, but could we get something as ambitious as the space program off the ground today? Considering the state of the current health care debate, my guess is no.

If this was Bush making the speech, we still wouldn’t be on the moon, instead, we would be trying to decipher the stupid logic.
Don’t feel bad about missing the landing Scott, I missed it too, of course, I wasn’t born.
