We chose to land an International Astronaut on 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, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

My favorite part of the speech is the reference to Rice playing Texas.

Since the beginning of the Apollo program, more people have traveled to the moon than Rice football players who started a winning game against Texas.
