The greatest modern Democrat. Unlike today. Lincoln and Washington were the greatest. Washington left the office even though he could have been a King for life. Thereby saving our fledgling constitutional republic. And Lincoln literally died for the Union and ending slavery.

My mother died in May before JFK died in November. I was only 7 years old. I cried for years after then until in adulthood I was able to grieve and put it behind me. I loved my mother and my President JFK.

I am always impressed that Mr. Kennedy gave his speeches simply from note cards on the podium. Not a teleprompter in sight.

Replace space exploration with whatever your goals are and its one of the best motivational speeches ever. Starting a company, fitness goals, Kennedy made the American people one whole, a wonder that we all were a part of one entity.

9:50 the most iconic part “not because they are easy, but because they are hard”

JFK was a visionary and the vision he laid out for this nation required a lot of strength, courage, resources and inspiration. President Kennedy provided all four and America succeeded. He was not blessed with the length of time and he left us very early. Whenever I feel low, I just listen to one of his speeches.

Kennedy may have passed away now almost more than sixty years ago; yet, America needs visionaries like JFK - to show the path of innovation, knowledge and skill.

That standing ovation at the start that kept going well past when he was ready to speak. Biden isn't getting that ovation at a neutral setting, neither is Trump, or any other politician today.

Yeah, that struck me too. He acknowledged the costs, and it even broke it down to the person (40 cent per person, to go up to 50 cent), to make it understandable. A gallon of gas in 1960 was about 31 cent, so it would be equivalent to maybe $4 per person today. So it's not zero, but not overly burdensome. Still great to hear honesty there.

I listen to JFK and can't help but thinking of Joe Biden. Oh, can't we have a president of JFK caliber? God bless America. JFK said, we choose to go to the moon, , not because it is hard, but because it is the right thing to do. How uplifting is the speech. .

I rem as a child how my mom and her mom both cried together and mourned when we lost this great Leader of the free world.

As an Australian millennial, I can confidently say this is the only politician that I have any respect for. On both continents, and he died 26 years before I was born. He is a very skilled orator. Imagine where US spaceflight would be if he had survived.

I have thought about your question. It made me wonder. What has been the effect of president Kennedy being murdered on all of the people who worked on the Apollo program? How has the death of president Kennedy influenced their will and resolve to be succesful? In a way, I think, there might also be an element of tribute in the moonlanding. As in a means to honour, in an unprecedented way, the life of the very man who gave them the challenge.

NASA is what it is almost entirely because of James Webb. He fought tooth and nail against Kennedy and his administration to make NASA strictly about science and exploration. Your admiration for Kennedy is a bit misplaced, in my opinion. He was a hell of an orator, but a man of incredibly dubious morals. But he was assassinated 2 years into his first term. It's easy to make a martyr of him.

I don't know why, but when he turns on his booming voice at 4:28, I always get chills ("SO IT IS NOT SURPRISING...")

“causing heat about half that on the temperature of the Sun. Almost as hot as it is here today.” Even Kennedy knew Houston was hot as hell

I love this Man legacy. Love everything about his character. THE MAN.

I was 6years old when this most wonderful speech was given. JACK,WE SO DEEPLY MISS YOU AND YOUR BROTHER BOBBY!

No wokeness, no bullshit, just business!

Watching this you have to wonder how we have gone so far astray in choosing our leaders…

The bravery, the commitment, the passion that Kennedy brought to his vision for this country and it's citizens truly lit up the world. What a gift Kennedy was. Take a snapshot for your mind. You will not see his like again.

This speech, the Gettysburg Address, Churchill's bone - chilling "We shall fight...", FDR's " A day which will live in infamy..." Don't know if this sort of thing is even taught in schools anymore...but if it is, students, if you closely examine these examples, and utilize the knowledge therein, you will get a 4.0.... Been watching this a bazillion times...always makes me tear up... Godspeed, Jack.

Very well said. Those are truly great speeches, nothing like what passes for oratory today. We can but hope the pendulum will swing back to this sort of speech.
