JFK "We Choose to Go to the Moon..."

Season 1 | Episode 2

The moon is 240,000 miles away - it’s hard to even picture how far that is. But JFK pledged to the American people that we would reach the moon. But not only reach it, but do it in just a few short years.

JFK gives this speech at Rice University in Houston Texas on September 12, 1962. It’s an inspiring speech. And I like to think back to this one whenever I’m setting goals for myself that seem insurmountable - because it's a great reminder that anything is possible.

You've likely heard an excerpt of this speech before - "we choose to go to the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard."

Enjoy this lofi edition of JFK inspiring a nation. Drift off and have a thoughtful day...

This episode features music from Anatomy Park and Len Trexler, enjoy!
