President Kennedy understood that yearnings for peace are like nothing compared to leadership and that leadership is impossible without achievement and achievement impossible without commitment. As he put it, “the vows of this Nation can only be fulfilled if we in this Nation are first, and, therefore, we intend to be first.”

One listens to this interview and remembering this is the United States of America we are talking about, one is tempted to say the piece is an absolutely nutty story, one wants to say it is ridiculous, even bizarre, a fraud.

Then one realizes it is real, it is where we have traveled in the last 48 years, and one shudders.

Kennedy today would be savaged in the main stream media for being too conservative.

"Bolden seems to have no sense of national pride"

Please tell me who in this administration does have any national pride?

Bolden really seems to have no sense of national pride. No notion that America is an extraordinary country and that we can do extraordinary things. Bolden goes on to explain that the U.S. alone could never go to Mars

Obama's kind of guy.

The Distance NASA Travelled Over 48 Years,

All the way to Malaysia now.

Bolden must know why he got that job. How can he sleep?
