SignUp Now!what do you think the other things were?I've long wondered what President Kennedy meant when he said "....we choose to go to the moon and do the other thing", (although it's also difficult to discern from the audio recording whether he said "...thing.", as in: the singular, or if instead he said the plural form, "...things.".)
For all I currently know, maybe it's already widely known, or common knowledge as to what exactly President K specifically meant by "...thing"/or "..things."(?)
Dunno aye. All that happened well over a decade before I got here.what do you think the other things were?

In short, the hard shit that we seeming cant do very well anymore.I'd wondered about that too. After doing some reading on it, it seems pretty simple. In his speech he was comparing going to the Moon with all the other hard things we (humanity) have done and will continue to do into the future.
He made reference to us choosing to explore the Oceans, climb the highest mountain, fly the Atlantic, etc etc. Those things and hard things not yet done, are the "other" things. He was trying to lump it all together, as to why we should seek to do it.
He knew we were behind the Soviets with regards to space, and that was his way of saying we should do it, without saying we have to do it just to keep them from getting there first.
