        We miraculously met that challenge, even w/ tragic launch pad fire that killed three astronauts, delaying 1st Apollo launch for nearly 2 years. But after reaching the moon, we gutted the program, never rekindling the spirit of exploration. We should have been on Mars by now

        Werner von Braun in Tulsa to give evening lecture on May 26 when NYT reached him to comment on this; my father & grandfather had tickets and were at hospital awaiting my birth; doctor sent them to talk with “you’ll have more children but this is your only opportunity to hear WvB”pic.twitter.com/zyne1RYrgu

        That talk in Tulsa was when von Braun used a very American metaphor. He said the U.S. was "back in solar ball park. We may not be leading the league, but at least we are out of the cellar."

        Not everyone. I was in high school then. JFK made us believe that if we harnessed our energy & our will to accomplish great things, that we could do so. I remember it as a golden time. He was a great leader. He was not perfect but he had such impact on people. I miss him.

        Me too. I was a freshman in high school when he was brutally shot down. Jackie K. was one of the bravest women who ever lived. I don't know how she did it. Our world was better because of both of them.

        For all his faults this man inspired so many people here and around the world. Will we ever have another inspirational President again?

        I always see this statement as an example of how formal political language used to be. I think we could have safely assumed we weren't just going to leave the astronauts up there, but JFK felt for some reason that he had to add the second part.

        “Not because it is easy, but because it is hard.” Now Americans look for the easy way.
