"Space expenditures will soon
rise some more, from 40 cents
per person per week to more
than 50 cents a week..."
"That budget now stands

September 12, 1962
by President John F. Kennedy
Excerpt 2
1 To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This
year's space budget is three times what it was in January
1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the
previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at
$5,400 million a year-a staggering sum, though
somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every
year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40
cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week
for every man, woman and child in the United States, for
we have given this program a high national priority-even
though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith
and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.
"This year's space budget is
three times what it was in
January 1961 ...
... it (this year's space
budget] is greater than the
space budget of the previous
eight years combined."
