What it was, is unknown...

How about the program to land men on the moon in 10 years? That did a great deal for the United States.

You aren't one of those who believes that we did not go to the moon, are you?

Would it have made a difference if we didn't go???

It was Von Braun who started us on the path to the moon in the 1950’s. The first Saturn boosters were built while Eisenhower was in office. JFK was simply responding to Soviet accomplishments in space.

It’s been said by historians, that the only thing JFK will be remembered for in the future, is his pledge to land men on the Moon within a decade. That’s it, nothing else. He didn’t know if it would happen, or if it could be done, but he made the pledge. Any politician can make a pledge. Matter of fact, they all make promises. JFK just got lucky that it came true (under a different administration - Nixon’s). Why bring up Obama? He and JFK are similar. Libs fawn over them, lavish honors on them (like a Nobel prize on Obama), giving them credit where it isn’t due. If JFK had this Ghost Navy warship, he probably would have wrecked it on some bridge while drunk and got some young woman drowned.
