if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to
the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in
Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of
this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which
have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and
stresses several times more than have ever been
experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the
finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for
propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and
survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial
body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the
atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing
heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost
as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and
do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.

fought between Russia and America.
This was a war in which the Americans andRussians fired no bullets, launched no missiles
and no armies clashed.
This war was a clash ofPOLITICAL BELIEFS and
was known as the COLD WAR.

And carried on from there..
The next challenge for each nation was to
develop an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
(ICBM) which could deliver a nuclear weapon
from that nation's soil to its respective
enemy's cities and military bases.
This needed a new type of rocket that could
travel in space.
The Space Race was on.
