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 the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. We propose to accelerate the development of the appropriate lunar space craft. We propose to develop alternate liquid and solid fuel boosters, much larger than any now being developed, until certain which is superior. …. But in a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon—if we make this judgment affirmatively, it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there. What was Kennedy likely trying to convince Congress to do? A. support funding a space program B. develop alternative sources of energy C. develop job services for the nation D. choose an astronaut to go to the moon
