[01:30.560]But why, some say, the moon
[01:39.610]Why choose this as our goal
[01:41.920]And they may well ask
[01:45.380]Why climb the highest mountain
[01:46.950]Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic
[01:50.460]Why does Rice play Texas
[01:52.570]We choose to go to the moon
[01:55.780]We choose to go to the moon
[01:59.190]We choose to go to the moon
[02:06.720]In this decade and do the other things
[02:09.240]Not because they are easy
[02:11.090]But because they are hard
[02:13.140]Because that goal will serve to organize
[02:17.510]And measure the best
[02:18.510]Of our energies and skills
[02:20.630]Because that challenge is one
[02:22.590]That we are willing to accept
[02:24.690]One we are unwilling to postpone
[02:27.300]And one which we intend to win
[02:29.700]And the others, too

But why, some say, the moon
Why choose this as our goal
And they may well ask
Why climb the highest mountain
Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic
Why does Rice play Texas
We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon
In this decade and do the other things
Not because they are easy
But because they are hard
Because that goal will serve to organize
And measure the best
Of our energies and skills
Because that challenge is one
