I believe that this nation
should commit itself
to landing a man on the moon
and returning him safely
to the earth.
After thousands of years
gazing up in the heavens
and dreaming of this day,
a man is about to set foot
on the moon.
Across the world,
people wait with bated breath.
Ladies and gentleman,
this is a live signal.
There he is!
The shock across the nation
at this event
is just indescribable.

This race
will be ours to fight for...

And we are not stopping there.
Moon lab.
We need to accelerate the base.
You're going to be

No, I'm going to be

We're going to Mars. Saturn.
The stars. The galaxy.
Drifting right. Watch it!
