In 1961 John F Kennedy, set forth his vision for the United States to put a man on the moon within the decade.

At the time, none of the powerful rocket engine and computing technologies required to fulfil his ambition existed. Nevertheless, nine years later his vision had become reality.

By the very fact of sharing and committing to his bold vision, JFK was mobilising huge resources towards his innovation project. These resources include the creativity and enthusiasm of all the team members at NASA and all the other science, technology and engineering bodies who could play a part in delivering JFK’s vision.
