It’s Time for a New Moonshot
On September 12, 1962 President Kennedy announced “We choose to go to the Moon.” At the time it seemed impossible, outrageous even. But it happened. We did it.
“The term moonshot is derived from the Apollo 11 spaceflight project, which landed the first human on the moon in 1969. The term originally meant "long shot," in which the likelihood of great results is low, but people still make an effort hoping for such an outcome anyway. It may also reference the earlier phrase "shoot for the moon," which means to aim for a lofty target. Today, moonshot refers to a new project that could have outstanding results after one intense, consistent effort.”
Our Moonshot
We have seen that dream become a reality; but not without its trials and tribulations. 60 years later it’s our turn for a “moonshot” as Center for Purposeful Leadership aims to achieve the perceived impossible as we embark on a new vision: A just, inclusive, and interconnected world — a world that works for all.
“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." —President John F. Kennedy
