U.S. Slips in Race to Moon as Kennedy Rails Saturn
President Kennedy warned at a news conference that even maximum Saturn funding won’t let the United States lead the race to the moon. He said the Soviet Union already has momentum with the Lunik rocket, and Saturn remains years behind. He favored scientific judgment on whether nuclear or chemical rockets offer a real leap forward. Saturn’s thrust and schedule were described as insufficient to reach first. He noted a request for an extra 126 million dollars for Saturn but reiterated the U.S. would still be second this decade.
