Bricks & Clicks
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.

You’re right

David,

Thanks for pointing out my error. I should have looked up the exact quote before using quotation marks. Duh!

It was good to read the whole quote again, savor the thought and learn that Kennedy said it at Rice University.  Thanks for all.

    Lil, your welcome! It is a great speech, but his Special Message to Congress (Section IX) was a better mastery of political motivation. It is the one that includes the line:

    First, I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish.

    It was a formidable agenda in all with the moon being remembered.David
