We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.

The sky is the limit only for those who aren’t afraid to fly!

We want to explore. We’re curious people. Look back over history, people have put their lives at stake to go out and explore … We believe in what we’re doing. Now it’s time to go.

Where ignorance lurks, so too do the frontiers of discovery and imagination.

Failure is not an option.

Spaceflights cannot be stopped. This is not the work of any one man or even a group of men. It is a historical process which mankind is carrying out in accordance with the natural laws of human development.

Buy why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may as well ask why climb the highest mountain?
