Kennedy and the Space Program

Kennedy Background Born in Mass War hero WWII- Jackie Debated Nixon in 1960 and won as Democratic/ Roman Catholic candidate Assassinated Nov in Dallas by Lee Harvey Oswald Important more for what he could have done that what he did

Space Race Speech Sept. 12 th, 1962 at Rice University

May 25, Speech to Joint Session of Congress "...if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in space which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to all of us, as did Sputnik in 1957, the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere... Now it is time to take longer strides-time for this nation to take a clearly leading role in space achievement, which in many ways may hold the key to our future on Earth....we have never made the national decisions or marshaled the national resources required for such leadership. We have never specified long-range goals on an urgent time schedule... Space is open to us now; and our eagerness to share its meaning is not governed by the efforts of others. We go into space because whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share... I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project...will be more exciting, or more impressive to mankind, or more important...and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish...".

To Reach the Moon How do we get there  a) We sent three modules to collect information b) Alan Shepard 15 seconds c) A specific plan

All well and good, but how do we get there? Direct Ascent- one craft, one landing craft, bigger rocket Earth Orbit Rendezvous- Many pieces put together in Earth orbit Lunar Orbit Rendezvous- All sent up together and put together in lunar orbit

The Early Years of (Wo)Manned Space Flight Firsts- mostly Soviet (Sputnik, Yuri Gagarin) American- Mercury- Shepard, Glenn, Ed White Gemini- 14 days in a Volkswagen sized compartment These flights had to practice the different actions necessary for a lunar landing

Setbacks and Blowups How could Ivan beat Johnny? Project Vanguard a)Grapefruit sized IGY satellite b)Sputnik quickened timetable c)Ended with a “bang” and a blinking IGY in the weeds Mercury-Atlas 1 also blows up 58 seconds into the flight

Apollo 1 Ed White, Gil Grissom, and Roger Chaffee killed in flash fire training on land for their mission Space Race delayed for 20 months in response
