in this. I'll be reading about john F Kennedy and his dreams to pursue space. I'll be reading sections one through 6. We meet at a college noted for Knowledge in a city noted for progress and the state noted for strength. And we stand in need of all three. For we meet in an hour of change and challenge and dedicated of hope and fear. In an age of both knowledge and ignorance, the greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today. Despite the fact that this nation's own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that our population as a whole. Despite that the vast stretch of unknown and unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.

We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding. Yet the vows of this nation can only be fulfilled if we in the nation are first and therefore we intend to be first, ensure our leadership in science and Industrial Revolution will help our hopes for peace and security.

Us too, make this effort to solve these mysteries, solve them for the good of all men and to become the world's leading space faring nation.
