We chose to go to the moon

I present to your reading this speech given by John. F. Kennedy in Houston on the subject of the Space program. The speech was given in 1962. One year previous to giving this speech, JFK announced a decision to put a man on the Moon by the end of the decade. I find the Apollo program to be an inspiring example of the fact that man (we) are capable of doing impossible things.

I echo Splashboy's comments about the composition of the Herd. Rare and fine friends you all are. May we always remain such.
