Just as the United States was the first nation to reach the moon in the 20th century, so too will we be the first nation to return astronauts to the moon in the 21st century. And I’m here on the president’s behalf to tell the men and women of the Marshall Space Flight Center and the American people, that at the direction of the president of the United States, it is the stated policy of this administration and the United States of America to return American astronauts to the moon within the next five years. America will once again astonish the world, with the heights we reach, the wonders we achieve and we will lead the world in human space exploration once again. Now, let’s get to work.
