6. In this speech, what is the relationship between space, peace, and war? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.

The speaker argues that the pursuit of space exploration can lead to peace, and ultimately prevent war. He says, '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...to defeat the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war...' The speaker is suggesting that space exploration can unite humanity towards a common goal that is greater than any individual country or ideology, and in doing so, prevent war by building a sense of shared purpose and cooperation.
