In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced the bold challenge of sending astronauts to the moon within a decade. In 1969, after only eight years of American innovation, Neil Armstrong stepped out of a landing craft onto the moon's surface, taking what he called "a giant step for mankind." If the country's energies and talents were again focused as they were by President Kennedy, something just as grand could be achieved - new energy-saving technologies that lessen our nation's dangerous dependence on foreign oil while creating new good-paying manufacturing jobs and improving the quality of our environment.
