Comments on: ‘We choose to go to the moon’ http://blogs.e-rockford.com/bricksandclicks/2008/05/14/we-choose-to-go-to-the-moon/ The Rockford Register Star is more than a newspaper: the ink on print or the "bricks" in the News Tower. We're a multimedia news and information company: the "clicks" on our Web site and the TV clips on WREX-13. This blog explains our fast-changing media environment and interacts with our readers to show how and why we do what we do.

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." http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/jfk-space.htm David While I admire your thoughts I really admired Kennedy and you missed a few words in your Kennedy quote (not to be too pedantic) — if you meant it as a paraphrase that’s fine but the actual quote from his speech at Rice University is, “We choose to go to the moon.
