#OnThisDay in #history, 1962, #POTUS John F. Kennedy delivered one of the most famous speeches of his career, telling Americans why “we choose to go to the moon.” #JFK spoke of the great achievements of mankind—contending that a lunar landing was next—and that, “no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space.”

Today’s launch of the Polaris Dawn mission marks an extraordinary moment in space exploration. We are cheering for the success of this five-day mission and for our friends, Commander Jared Isaacman, Pilot Scott “Kidd” Poteet, and Mission Specialists Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon. Jared, an Aviation Challenge? alumnus, is scheduled to attempt to make the first private spacewalk on this historic flight.
