JOHN F. KENNEDY 1917-1963

JOHN F. KENNEDY 1917-1963

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. He became President of the United States starting January 20, 1961 to 22 November 1963 when he was killed in Dallas, Texas. I would set aside most of the data biografisnya, because it had the same problem because it is generally known and the political and personal activities with little relevance Kennedy his presence in this book list.
A thousand years from now, both "Peace Corps" or "Alliance for Progress" or event "Bay of Pigs" will not be remembered. Likewise, Kennedy's political action in the field of tax and statutory civil rights. John F. Kennedy mentioned in this book only for one reason only: he was the person responsible for the establishment of "Space Program, Apollo." Even if humans did not utter a small object on the sidelines of the ever-busy time, we can confirm that even 5000 years to come on our journey to the moon is still considered an extraordinary event, an important event in human history.
I will talk about the importance of further courses to the moon. First, allow me to link this issue with a question, is it true John F. Kennedy was one of the most major role in this journey to the moon. Whether or not Neil Armstrong Edwin Aldrin, the first person who actually set foot on the moon? If we put the names of people in this book list on the basis of his fame in the long run, perhaps properly so, because I suspect more like Neil Armstrong will be remembered for 5000 years people would come over John F. Kennedy. But from the point of impact, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin completely unimportant. If the cause is or why the two men died two months before the launch of Apollo 11, there will be a dozen well-trained astronauts and high rate capability that is ready to replace it slid to the moon.
Or should we give awards to Wernher von Braun's engineers or other scientists or others who have given contributions and power that enables it to space exploration? No doubt Wernher von Braun had a larger share in terms of advancing the excavation mystery of outer space (as well as predecessors such as Konstantin Tsiolkovsky done, Robert H. Goddard and Hermann Oberth). However, once the political decision has been taken for implementation of the Apollo project, not a single scientist - not also the group which consists of topnotch experts - able to break through this complex problem. Break-hassle way to the moon is not solely of scientific progress, but a political decision. The political that yellow light and provide 24 billion dollars for this project.

July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 astronauts left a trail foot on the lunar surface, fulfilling the promise of Kennedy in May 1961 will land a spacecraft on the moon bermanusia "before the end of this decade"
Well, how about that political decisions? Whether sooner or later, that decision will come too though without John F. Kennedy? I guess hard - although this is not so sure - at some point a government decision to finance the trip will take humans to the moon. Of course, John F. Kennedy did not impose this program when people objected.
On the other hand, there is no pressure and urging the people for the project that cost is not remarkably large grassland. If in 1959 or in 1960, the United States Congress passed the Apollo program and provide funds for it, and if the law had been vetoed by President Eisenhower, you could say that Kennedy was simply carried away by the currents of public opinion. However, the fact that there are shows the opposite: a lot of Americans want the space program, but there was no fuss in the community who objected to a massive program. Even after the Apollo 11 success, there is no meaningful public gossip on the issue of whether the program is beneficial to the cost of it. Since 1969, of course, NASA's budget declined very heavy.
Because it is very clear, is because the leadership of John F. Kennedy, who led the Apollo program was able to walk. Kennedylah on the date of May 1, 1961 promised that the United States would land a spacecraft loaded with man on the moon "before the end of this decade." Is the Kennedy who get funds from Congress, and under the Kennedy program was designed. One could believe that the program to the moon will occur sooner or later (something that actually is not certain), but it was clear that Kennedy was the one who did.
Some people, of course, still feel that the Apollo project is merely quasi-quasi-an only and have no significance. So far no visible signs commemorating the July 20, 1969 as a historic day, for example, the national day. Conversely, we also know that even though the day Columbus was not celebrated in the 16th century, he is commemorated today as a sign of rising dawn of new era.
In fact, if the Apollo project was never passed, yet still will continue to be remembered as the greatest works in human perpacuan reach the highest achievement. But, I think, the Apollo program will be continued and the journey into space will play a larger role in the future than ever before. If so, our grandchildren will feel that the journey of Apollo 11, as well as the journey of Columbus crossed the Atlantic, is the starting point of the whole new era in human history.
