We choose to go to the moon

Think Works

まもなく人類が月面に立ってから40周年

We choose to go to the moon. 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, and the others, too.

アポロ11号の打ち上げから地球帰還までを

私たちは40年前に比べて
どれだけ進化しただろうか？
。。。などと考えてみるのも一興
