About this listen

In this historic speech, President Kennedy lays out the challenge for the United States to send a man to the Moon by the end of the 1960s, not just as a technological goal, but as a demonstration of the power of American democracy and its ability to lead the world towards a better future. Kennedy's speech is one of the most iconic moments of the Cold War and the space race, and has inspired generations of engineers, scientists, and dreamers to look to the stars with hope and determination.
