The world is very different now, for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. Let the word go forth from this time and place... ...those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
In an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace...before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity...begin anew the quest for peace.
Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, tap the ocean depths, and...let the oppressed go free. ...a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny...poverty....disease. . .and war itself. Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance?
Will you join in that historic effort?
---------- John F. Kennedy. The 35th President of US
