But why, some say, the moon
Why choose this as our goal
And they may well ask
Why climb the highest mountain
Why 35years ago, fly the Atlantic
Why does Rice play Texas
We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon
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
And one which we intend to win
And the others, too
– John Fitzgerald Kennedy
这是约翰肯尼迪的十年之约，
也是我们的。
