Question

In his 1962 "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech, President John F. Kennedy said:

"If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space."

What is Kennedy's claim in this excerpt?

I think what it is saying that this time of history will teach them that when a man wants to explore something, they will be determined, but not discouraged. And that they will continue with the exploration of space so they can try to progress and expand USA's knowledge.

Answer 8

I need to find the claim... I think it is "The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not..."

Answer 9

I agree. I think that's the claim, "The exploration of space will go ahead," "Whether we join it or not may also be part of the claim, but it may be part of the counter-claim.

Answer 10

O ya I see what your saying, so I should just put "The exploration of space will go ahead..."
