President Kennedy
giving a speech.
The Apollo 11 started as something president John F. Kenedy wanted to do by the end of the decade, go to the moon. President Kenedy made a speech called "We Choose to go to the Moon" in 1962 and specificly said, "we choose to go to the moon in this decade" and they acomplished just that. This was important because no one knew much about the moon and it was the next frontier. If the U.S. got a man on the moon they would have beaten the Soviet Union.
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not 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, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
"It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency. "-This is part of President Kennedy's speech "We Choose to go to the Moon"
The Apollo 11 took along time to design. They had to study designs of space shuttle so the could build it. The space shuttle builders built had many debates on the design and the costs of making and operating the Apollo 11. But the design was finally chosen to what it is today.
