About this episode
Sixty years ago, President Kennedy uttered these famous words, "We choose to go to the moon." As if it were a choice, ignoring the scientific and practical challenges. But less than a decade later, his words came to life. We chose and we achieved. It took an incredible amount of national will to get to the moon. Secrecy, planning, investment — in a wartime approach. And it was a war. It was the Cold War and the space race. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast joins Kevin Freeman to talk about how the U.S. must achieve space dominance to preserve freedom. He also discusses a new space manufacturing process that will help us win the space race.
