In his 1962 "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech, President John F. Kennedy said: But 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.

<span>Kennedy's claim in this excerpt was that since the US was capable of developing the technology to put a man on the moon and return him safely to earth before the end of the 1960s. This would prove that the US was better than the Soviet Union.</span>

What is ironic about the lion and tiger's adventure? Or, what makes the end of the lion and tiger's adventure so funny? Use quot
marin [14]

Answer:

The irony is in the fact that both the lion and the tiger end up doing exactly the opposite of what they intended.

Explanation:

Hi. From the context of your question, we can see that you are referring to “The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger,” which was written by L. Frank Baum. In this story we meet a lion who leaves its habitat determined to tear apart the first person it meets. In the same story, we see a tiger, which leaves its habitat determined to eat the first human baby it targets in front of it. The ironic thing is that when they find what they want they do completely different things.

The lion finds a woman lying on the ground and instead of tearing her to pieces, it lifts the woman and takes her home very gently and safely. The tiger, upon finding a baby on the ground, does not devour the baby, but takes it very gently to its mother, who is the woman the lion helped.
