50 Years Ago Today: JFK Explains Why 'We Choose To Go To The Moon'

It is the 50th Anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's first Presidential year... 1961.

Here is his inspiring We Choose To Go To The Moon speech delivered at Rice University on May 25, 1961.

The stuff dreams are made of...

And here is a fascinating historical addendum to this speech released by the John F.Kennedy Presidential Library today... a declassified White House conversation JFK had with NASA Administrator James Webb discussing the future of the US space program.

The meeting was held in the White House on September 18, 1963 and reveals President Kennedy’s private concerns over waning public support for space exploration.

This is great stuff, real, true history, not tainted by bias... the real audio recordings of President Kennedy in the White House.
