“Acredito que devemos ir à Lua. Mas acho que todos os cidadãos deste país, bem como os membros do Congresso devem analisar o assunto e fazer o seu julgamento com cuidado. Este é um pesado fardo e não faz sentido desejar que os Estados Unidos tomem uma posição afirmativa no Espaço a menos que estejamos dispostos a trabalhar e a suportar os encargos para torná-lo bem sucedido”.
“Em primeiro lugar, acredito que esta nação deve dar tudo para atingir o objectivo, antes desta década acabar, de pousar um homem na Lua e retorná-lo com segurança à Terra”.

Penso que se devia estudar a sério e falar muito mais da influência do LBJ em todo o programa espacial.
O Kennedy era fotogénico e um bom orador, mas para mim, o LBJ teve um papel vital e fundamental.
On July 16, 1969, Johnson attended the launch of the first Moon landing mission Apollo 11, becoming the first former or incumbent US president to witness a rocket launch.

The Great Society program, with its name coined from one of Johnson’s speeches,became Johnson’s agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, Medicaid, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime, and removal of obstacles to the right to vote.
Congress, at times augmenting or amending, enacted most of Johnson’s recommendations.
After the Great Society legislation of the 1960s, for the first time a person who was not elderly or disabled could receive need-based aid from the U.S. government.

Johnson had a lifelong commitment to the belief that education was the cure for both ignorance and poverty, and was an essential component of the American Dream, especially for minorities who endured poor facilities and tight-fisted budgets from local taxes.
He made education a top priority of the Great Society, with an emphasis on helping poor children.

During Johnson’s administration, NASA conducted the Gemini manned space program, developed the Saturn V rocket and its launch facility, and prepared to make the first manned Apollo program flights.
On January 27, 1967, the nation was stunned when the entire crew of Apollo 1 was killed in a cabin fire during a spacecraft test on the launch pad, stopping Apollo in its tracks.
Rather than appointing another Warren-style commission, Johnson accepted Administrator James E. Webb’s request for NASA to do its own investigation, holding itself accountable to Congress and the President.
Johnson maintained his staunch support of Apollo through Congressional and press controversy, and the program recovered.
The first two manned missions, Apollo 7 and the first manned flight to the Moon, Apollo 8, were completed by the end of Johnson’s term.
He congratulated the Apollo 8 crew, saying, “You’ve taken … all of us, all over the world, into a new era.”
