Space speech

The speaker addresses Vice President Johnson, President Eisenhower, and others, acknowledging that the world has changed. They pledge support to their neighboring republic and recognize the impact of space achievements. They propose developing new fuel boosters for space exploration, potentially beyond the moon. The speaker emphasizes that new objectives and money alone cannot solve problems, but freedom and excitement are important in the space adventure. Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, we observe today, the world is very different now. To our sister republic, south of our border, we offer a special pledge. The impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere in space achievement, we nevertheless are required to make new efforts on our own. With the advice of the Vice President, we can guarantee that any failure to make this effort will make us lost. To provide the funds which are needed to meet the following national goals, we propose to develop alternate liquid and solid fuel boosters. This gives promise of someday providing a means for even more exciting and ambitious exploration of space, perhaps beyond the moon, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on earth, perhaps to the very end of the solar system itself. New objectives and new money cannot solve these problems. They could in fact aggravate them further with a full speed of freedom in the exciting adventure of space.
