Now America must meet another: to make our strategic defense real for all the citizens of planet Earth.” RealProblemEarthAmericaChallengesTechnologyOur LivesMankindCenturySecurityPlanetsCitizensMetsOne DayMoonWeaponsPrisonTerrorSolveDefenseNuclearNuclear Weapons20th CenturyHistoricTransformingShieldsStrategicObsoletePlanet Earth Book:Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Ronald Reagan, 1986 Source: Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Ronald Reagan, 1986

I hope the people who do set foot on Mars will do so for all mankind, and not just one nation in particular.” PeopleDoneChallengesMankindLifetimeCuriousHopefullyUpliftingEthiopia Author:Julie Payette
