Transcript of a speech by Gerald Ford
"Today I speak to you from a place that needs no introduction. It is from the Kennedy Space Center that all American manned space missions since Freedom 7 have launched. From Launch Complex 39A over there,Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 crew launched to their appointment with the moon. From that pad,beginning 3 years from now,the first Space Shuttle missions will launch. If I win a full term in November,I will revitalize the space program. America will return to space as the decade of the 1980s begins. In February 1970,my predecessor stated that in the 70s,we would make space a familiar habitat of the 80s and 90s,easily accessible for human exploration. He will only be off by a few years. Thank you."
I know,not much of a first post. But more's to come.
