        Wish that JFK and LBJ could weigh in on the current NASA Administrator.

        This memo illustrates how JFK was a skillful leader and inspired so many of us.

        I had almost forgotten what it was like having a president who was thoughtful and deliberative. Thanks for the reminder.

        As a kid I thought we went to the moon for altruistic reasons. I was crushed when I realized that our competition with the USSR had a lot to do with it. Still, we got to the moon.
