John F. Kennedy, in a speech on May 25, 1961, proposed a manned moon landing by the end of that decade. President Richard M. Nixon spoke to Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins during the first moon landing on July 21, 1969. In a famous speech by John F. Kennedy, he stressed the importance that man seek knowledge that isn't readily available and almost impossible to obtain. One of those goals was to put a man on the moon, therefore making the "impossible" possible. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/25/newsid_4369000/4369187.stm

What is a good sixth grade speech for class president?

wat evA good 6th grade president speech would be where, at first, introduce yourself to the crowd. Not all the people will know your name. You should talk about how you're trustworthy, hard working, accountable, etc. You should also talk about what you would do as a president, and a few jokes in the speech is good too. People want seriousness, but not all the time. A good place to end would be the main idea of what your trying to say you'd do as a president and then, if you want, you could say "...that's why you should vote for me, (your name)."


What is the purpose of washingtons cabinet?

Because George Washington was the first president, I would have to argue that the purpose of Washington's cabinet was to help set the foundation of America. I mean, think about it: it was during Washington's presidency that our banking system was created and established; that term alone set up America's economy for the rest of our lives. Of course, the president uses his cabinet as a reassurance tool, meaning that before he makes huge decisions that will impact millions of lives for the rest of their lives, he must talk it over with his cabinet, first.
