They have presidential orders to to send astronauts to an asteroid in less than 15 years.

When Kennedy issued the challenge of the moon, he made sure to specify sending a man to the moon "and return him safely to Earth".

Don't see any such language here.

When Kennedy issued the challenge of the moon, he made sure to specify sending a man to the moon "and return him safely to Earth".

As they say about mountain climbing...."Getting up is optional, getting down is mandatory".

[Mr. K]

When Kennedy issued the chalenge to put a man on the moon “and return him safely to earth” it was because the USA had intel that Russia was close to sending a man to the moon- to die there.

They had many volunteers (space cowboys are like that) and not only was it horrifying to Kennedy’s morals but he knew if we issued that challenge Russia would NOT be able to keep up wih the safe return part of it.

That statement made sure we got there first.
