JFK was my hero, as were the NASA astronauts and all the folks who worked there. Our country was so energized at that time! Ambitious goals are something that Americans love and yearn for. I hope we get back to that as a nation.
In a 1961 speech to a joint session of Congress, President Kennedy set an ambitious goal for NASA, "this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." #Apollo50thpic.twitter.com/8Mfy2e4nF3

That the Apollo 11 Mission was able to guide a manned vehicle to the surface of the moon, & return safely to Earth - w/ an 16 bit fixed point uP running @ only 2 MHz & w/ less than 40k words of code .... is quite remarkable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer …

#JFK, the LAST#Democrat who "got" it, also said, "ask NOT what your country can do for you, but ask what can YOU DO for YOUR country." When did you#Democrats forget this?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
