There will, I can assure you, be hours of
set-back and frustration. Others will record
milestones before we do. Danger will accompany
each trip, as it has accompanied all feats of
exploration.
But I believe we have the courage and the
patience that are needed. We have the intellectual
and the financial resources -- we have the will and
the energy and the vision -- and fate has provided
us with the challenge.
We cannot afford to shrink from it now.
I do not believe you would have us shrink from it.
And that is why this Administration, with
bi-partisan support, is pledged to make American
space leadership more than a wish and more than
a goal. We are pledged to make it a reality.
