__ Actual Outcome﻿ __


== In the end, John F. Kennedy did actually decide to give his going to the moon speech to congress on May 25, 1961. This encouraged Americans to one up the Russians in the "space race" once again. “ Projects Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo were designed to execute Kennedy's goal” (Garber). The United States Apollo 11 landed on the moon July 20, 1969, and this was the day that marked that the United States had reached John F. Kennedy's goal of traveling to the moon by the end of the decade, and that they were in lead of the "space race." “ That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” famous quote once said  by Neil Armstrong, he and Erwin Aldrin were great assets to winning the "space race," they were two of the first men to walk on the moon. The quote describes how John F. Kennedy’s speech gave Americans determination to defeat the Cold War and become a leading power of the world. When we landed on the moon the United States made paramount scientific discoveries. One obvious discovery was that the moon has no life on it. == == After landing on the moon, Pete Conrad and Alan Bean made the second lunar landing: Apollo 12, November 19, 1969. The objective of this program was to collect samples and a survey of the area, and develop landing techniques. This lunar landing announced that the Americans were the leading power of the “space race.” In addition to that, on June 10 and July 7, 2003, NASA also sent twin robots to Mars: “The Mars Exploration Rovers.” The main scientific goals of these robots are to explore the history of water on Mars and excel the United States knowledge of the space galaxy. Today, Americans are still the dominant players in space. Also the United States has visited the moon multiple times and every time the journey is smoother. == == If John F. Kennedy had decided not to present his speech to congress, where would we be today with technology? Would we be as advanced? Would there be more or less discoveries made? Would the United States not be as focused on space and more focused on the underworld such as, the sea? ==
