Friend,

At 8:32 a.m. 51 years ago, one our nation's greatest triumphs lifted off. The Apollo 11 space mission, the product of years of hard work and old-fashioned Alabama know-how, took off, and the rest is history.

And it all started at Marshall Space Center in Huntsville.

 

 

When I think about what may go down as the 20th century's greatest achievement and a symbol of American leadership and brilliance around the world, I'm reminded today of President Kennedy's words:

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, 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.”

Now as we face challenges both new and old, the COVID-19 crisis and tackling racial inequality, we would all do well to remember his words.

President Kennedy's words do not just apply to our next great moon mission. What's to say that our next great "moonshot" shouldn't be curing COVID-19 – or bringing our medical manufacturing back under Alabama control – or finally taking concrete steps to end decades of systemic racism?

Those are the challenges that will define the future of Alabama and our nation. We must tackle them, not because they are easy but, as President Kennedy said, because they are hard. It will test us – it already has – but, like the great Apollo 11 mission, it can and will bring out the best of us.

So when I write to you about One Alabama and what we are coming together for, this is what I think of. It's what motivates me to continue serving you in the United States Senate, and what we as a nation must strive to achieve.

– Senator Doug Jones
