We meet in an hour of change and challenge |
| [00:11.413] |
In a decade of hope and fear |
| [00:21.982] |
In an age of both knowledge and ignorance |
| [00:30.055] |
The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds |
| [00:45.507] |
The eyes of the world are now looking to space |
| [00:56.464] |
To the moon, and to the planets beyond |
| [01:03.902] |
And we have vowed |
| [01:06.622] |
That we shall not see it governed.By a hostile flag of conquest |
| [01:11.919] |
But by a banner of freedom and peace |
| [01:28.789] |
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things |
| [01:33.700] |
Not because they are easy, but because they are hard |
| [01:45.325] |
Many years ago, Great British explorer George Mallory |
| [01:50.693] |
Who was to die on Mount Everest |
| [01:53.408] |
Was asked 'why did he want to climb it? |
| [02:01.118] |
He said 'because it is there |
| [02:05.983] |
Well space is there and we're going to climb it |
| [02:12.031] |
And the moon and the planets are there |
| [02:16.667] |
And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there |
| [02:21.172] |
And therefore as we set sail we ask God's blessing |
| [02:25.846] |
On the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatest adventure.On which man has ever embarked |
| [02:32.003] |
Thank you |
