JOHN F. KENNEDY

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born in the year 1917 Brookline, Massachusetts. He was President of the United States so began 20 January 1961 until 22 November 1963 when he was killed in Dallas, Texas. I will eliminate most of the data biografisnya, because the problem is already known and because the general political and personal activities with little relevance Kennedy he was in the presence of this book.

Thousand years to come, the "Peace Corps" or "Alliance for Progress" and the "Bay of Pigs" people will not mind. Similarly Kennedy political action in the field of tax legislation and civil rights. John F. Kennedy noted in the book list is only for one reason only: he who is responsible for the "Space Program, Apollo." If people do not bring up small objects in between the time you're busy, we can ensure that even the year 5000 will come to our travel days is still considered an extraordinary event, a milestone in the history of humanity.

I mean perbincangkan akan important program to more days. First, allow me to solve this problem with a question, whether the correct John F. Kennedy, at most, people who travel to the role in this month. Whether or not Neil Armstrong Edwin Aldrin, the first person that actually set foot on the moon? If we put the name in the list on the basis of this book kemasyhurannya in the long term, may be so, because I supposedly looks like Neil Armstrong akan dikenang the year 5000 compared to the akan datang John F. Kennedy. But from the point of impact, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin Samasekali not important. If because of this or that because the two people that died two months before the launch of Apollo 11, akan dozen astronauts who have trained well and berkemampuan high slide that is ready to replace it monthly.

Or should we give the award to Wernher von Braun or scientists or engineers who have given donations and thoughts of a power that allows the exploration of outer space is? No doubt more Wernher von Braun have a larger share in the mystery of the promotion process space (as is also done preceding such Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Robert H. Goddard and Hermann Oberth). However, once a political decision has been taken for implementation of the Apollo project, a scientist was not - did not they also group which consists of experts topnotch - able to break through this complex problem. Pendobrakan trip to the complexity of the month is not a purely scientific progress, but a political decision. Politiklah the lights turn yellow, and provide 24 billion dollars for this project.

On 20 July 1969 Apollo 11 astronauts left foot impressions on the surface months, Kennedy's promise to meet in May 1961 akan land vehicle space bermanusia in the days "before the end of this decade"

Well, how is a matter of political decision-making? Whether fast or slow decision also came despite akan without John F. Kennedy? I guess hard - although this is not so sure - at a time the government will take a decision to fund human travel days. Of course, John F. Kennedy does not impose this program when people object to.

On the other hand, there is no pressure and the pressure of the people with the implementation of the projects that berbiaya not the size of the beam remarkably. When in the year 1959 or in 1960, Congress passed the United States Apollo program and provide funds for it, and when the law was diveto by President Eisenhower, Kennedy bisalah spelled that brought by a flow of public opinion. However, the fact that of the show: many people want the United States space program, but there is no kick-up in the community against the objections of a large-scale program. Even after the successful Apollo 11, there is no public pergunjingan which means the problem of whether the program is indeed beneficial to the carriage of it. Since year 1969, of course, declining NASA budget once downpours.

Therefore, once clear, is because the leadership of John F. Kennedy that the Apollo program that can run. Kennedylah that on 1 May 1961 pledged that the United States akan land vehicle space had people in "before the end of this decade." Kennedy is that the funds obtained from Congress, and under the Kennedy-lah program was designed. People can only believe that the program will be a month to fast or slow (something that actually debatable), but the Kennedy has been clear that to do so.

Some people, of course, still feel that the Apollo project is only a quasi-quasi-an only and have no importance. During this the symptom does not appear on 20 July 1969 as a historic day, for example, the national day. Conversely, we also know, although not Colombus day diperingati in 16-century, he now diperingati this morning as a sign of rising new era.

In fact, if the project Apollo never to be, yet still dikenang akan continue as a result of the paper in perpacuan people reach the highest achievement. But, I think, will be forwarded Apollo program and a trip to space will be larger role in the future than previously. If the case, our children and grandchildren will feel that the Apollo 11 journey, as well as Colombus travel across the Atlantic Ocean, is a point of departure of the whole new era in human history.
