TO LENNOX AND MY LUSKO LADIES.
I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK. WAFFLES ON SATURDAY. ALWAYS.
Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock and to scourge and to crucify. And the third day He will rise again.
JESUS CHRIST (MATT. 20:1819)
No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.
JESUS CHRIST (JOHN 10:18)
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
JESUS CHRIST (JOHN 16:7)
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
JESUS CHRIST (JOHN 14:12)
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.
PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY, ADDRESS TO JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS IN WASHINGTON, DC, MAY 25, 1961
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolutions, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it.... We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people.... But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal?... We choose to go to the moon in this decade and to 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 were willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.
