Oh easy.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the
goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and
returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project...will be
more exciting, or more impressive to mankind, or more important...and
none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish...".
President John F. Kennedy, May 1961

Plus the companion speach.

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 that we are willing to accept,
one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and
the others, too.

John F. Kennedy - September 12, 1962
