“We Choose to go to the Moon” September 12th, 1962 Goal was to persuade US to go to the moon. Before the decade was out Rice Stadium in Houston Texas Kennedy's speech used three strategies: a characterization of space as a beckoning frontier an articulation of time that locates the endeavor within a historical moment of urgency and plausibility a final, cumulative strategy that invites audience members to live up to their pioneering heritage by going to the moon video

The Soviets Maintain the Lead

The US pulls ahead with Gemini 1961-1966 10 missions from 1965-1966 Headed by Candian Jim Chamberlin Three goals: 2 week missions – human endurance EVA – space walks Rendevous and docking Gus Grissom helped design Gemini Used the Titan II ICBM rocket Firsts: Edward White – first US spacewalk 1965 First Space Rendevous 1965 Gemini 8 docked Highest altitude – 739 miles (still stands)
