JFK Moon Landing
On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy delivered a historic speech before a joint session of Congress that set the United States on a path to landing astronauts on the moon. Known as the "Special Message to the Congress on Urgent National Needs" or simply the "Moon Speech," it was a defining moment in the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
By announcing the moon launch, Kennedy aimed to showcase American scientific and engineering capabilities, as well as assert U.S. leadership in space exploration. The success of the moon landing was seen as a significant victory for the United States in the Cold War. There are many “theories” and speculation however as to whether or not we even went to the moon, or if it was simply a lie to make us appear superior during the Cold War. or perhaps something happened that deterred our return and halted the Soviet Union’s attempts…
This Mag is a depiction of these events and also throws in some subtle details or what might be considered “easter eggs” regarding the moon launch announcement and eventual assassination of JFK.
We may never know what actually happened or if the two events were indeed connected.
