Echoing JFK’s 1962 speech announcing America’s mission to the moon, President Donald J. Trump proclaimed during his inaugural address that the United States will embark on a mission to Mars.
With this announcement, hope in the future of humanity could be re-kindled. A new frontier may give us a way out of the haze of the comfort of modern civilization, and bring a wave of innovation.
Trump said,
“Above all, my message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization. So as we liberate our nation, we will lead it to new heights of victory and success. We will not be deterred. Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy and disease free. The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons. And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars.“
