"Before this Decade is Out..."

Fifty years ago today, President John F. Kennedy launched America on what has been perhaps the most exciting adventure and exploration of all time: Project Apollo, which journeyed to, landed on, and explored the Moon. Not even three weeks had elapsed since Alan Shepard had come back from his 15-minute suborbital flight, and still Kennedy challenged America to go to the Moon. Just over eight years later, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Mike Collins helped make Kennedy's challenge come true.

Fifty years ago today. Today, let us remember a time in our nation's history when we made bold moves and did exciting things.
