"But why some say the manual? Why choose this as our goal? And they may ask why not change with an SMG or paddle shifters? We choose to use the manual in this decade and do the other things, not because we are complacent, but because we are enthusiasts, because that goal will serve to organize 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 which we intend to win, and the others, too. It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts with a manual from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency. In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history. We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of V-8s, many times as powerful as the Model T which launched Henry Ford, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor. We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them. And they may be less public. To be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned drive. But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead"

Took me 5 min max, you would be amazed how little I actually changed his speech, and even then not really changed but replaced words. I saw the transcript for it and was like this is kind of eerie.
