Space is open to us now; and our
eagerness to share its meaning is not
governed by the efforts of others. We
go into space because whatever mankind
must undertake, free men must fully
share.
I therefore ask the Congress,
above and beyond the increases I have

to provide the funds which are needed
to meet the following national goals:
First, I believe that 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 earth.
