After WW2, where did the idea of going to the moon came from?
In: 233
The Russians launched the Sputnik satellite and there arose the furor over our being behind in the Space Race. President Kennedy gave his famous [Moon Speech](https://youtu.be/th5A6ZQ28pE?feature=shared). Of course where the idea of going to the moon is as simple as looking up at the night sky. One of our first film was [A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès](https://youtu.be/th5A6ZQ28pE?feature=shared) in 1902. It’s like saying why’d we decide to fly. Naturally WW2 gave us the first steps but by President Kennedy time it just took a strong measure of support.
