Not because they are easy but because they are hard
Because that goal will serve to organise and measure the best of our energies and skills
Because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept
One we are unwilling to postpone
And one we intend to win

Several times more than have ever been experienced
Fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch
Carrying all the equipment needed
For propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival
On an untried mission
To an unknown celestial body
And then return it safely to Earth
Re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over-
