needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications,
food, and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it
safely to Earth, reentering the atmosphere
at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that
of the temperature of the sun, almost as hot
as it is here today, and do all this,
and do all this and do it right, and do it first,
before this decade is out, then we must be bold
