Kennedy and the Space Race Colossal Commemorative Coin
"We choose to go to the moon ... not because it is easy, but because it is hard."
President John F. Kennedy, 1962
With these historic words - delivered at Rice University on September 12, 1962 - President John F. Kennedy set in motion the mission that would result in mankind's greatest achievement: Sending a man to the moon and returning him safely to earth within the decade. This set off the space race against Russia, which was won by America on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first human to step foot on the moon's surface.
