In John F. Kennedy's speech, "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things..."?
What did he mean by "do the other things"? I've never heard an explanation of what those other things were.

Read the whole speech which includes but not limited to:
"We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people."

I can tell you one thing ... see that "new rights to be won"? That was in the middle of the civil rights conflict which was one of the hardest, most divisive issues in US history.

I was wondering this myself.
I wonder if the speech said something else, like the problems of civil rights and such, and Kennedy was supposed to link the efforts of one with the other, but messed up.
