🌓 To the Moon

[JFK Inspirational Crowd Speech] Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it....... He said, "Because it is there." ......... ......... Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it And the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked. We choose to go the moon [Spaceship boosters sound] [DROP][DROP][DROP][DROP][DROP][DROP] To the moon To the moon We choose to go the moon [Verse 2] Man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time. We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people ......... ......... But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Today, we choose to go to the moon We choose to go to the moon To the moon To the moon [Saxophone solo]
