We choose to go to the moon

We choose to go to the moon in this decade

And do the other thingsNot because they are easy

But because they are hard

Because that goal will serve to organize and measure

The best of our energies and skills

We choose to go to the moon

We choose to go to thе moon in this decade

Becausе that challenge is one that we are willing to accept

One we are unwilling to postpone

And one which we intend to win

We set sail (We set sail) on this new sea

Because there is new knowledge to be gained

And new rights to be won

And they must be won and used for the progress of all people

For space science, like nuclear science and technology

Has no conscience of its own

Whether it will become a force for good or ill

Depends on man

Whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace

Or a new terrifying theater of war

A theater of war

For the eyes of the world now look into space

The moon and the planets beyond

With hopes for knowledge and peace

For the eyes of the world now look into space

The moon and the planets beyond

We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons

But with instruments of knowledge

We have vowed that we shall not

See it governed by a hostile flag

But with a banner of freedom and peace

There is no strife, no prejudice

No conflict in outer space

Its conquest deserves the very best of all mankind

We choose to go to the moon (But why, some say, the moon?)

We choose to go to the moon (Why choose this as our goal?)

We choose to go to the moon (Why, 35 years ago)

We choose to go to the moon (Fly the Atlantic?)

And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain?

Why?

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory

Who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked

Why did he want to climb it

Because it′s there

Because it's there

Space is there (Well, space is there)

And we′re going to climb it

Space is there (and we're going to climb it, {?} are there)

Space is there (and new hopes for knowledge)

And peace are there

We choose to go to the moon (And, there, {?} we set sail)

We choose to go to the moon (We ask what blessing)

We choose to go to the moon (on the most hazardous and) dangerous and

Greatest adventure, the

Greatest adventure, the

Greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked

We choose the moon

We choose the stars

We choose the stars

We choose to

Go!

We choose to go!

We choose to go!

We choose to

Go!
