Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Is this trip necessary?
That's what they asked the Wright Brothers, too. Only
in those days they said, "If man were meant to fly, God
would have given him wings." It amounts to the same
thing. No one guessed that the airplane would contribute
a lot more to our lives than just faster transportation.
That it would spur developments in every
field of science. Many things we take for granted grew
out of the needs of modern flight. Things like aluminum
for bridges, cars and wrapping foil. Better and smaller
radios and TV sets. Energy cells. A lot of the scientific
know-how which made this nation strong would have
been a long time coming, if it hadn't been for the airplane.
At the same time, our understanding Of man's
physical capabilities has increased, too-with a corresponding
growth in our understanding of the human
mechanism. So getting to the moon is more than a mattcr
of national pride. It's a question of staying ahead in
technology. If we don't, we can't hope to remain a world
power. Our efforts to land a man on the moon will
result in new discoveries. Just as the airplane hatched
better ways to do things. Scientists call it technological
fallout. That's good fallout. The kind of fallout that
will fire up our economy, provide new industries, new
jobs, and new ways to make the earth a better place to
live. Grumman is designing and building the Lunar Excursion
Module. We're proud to do our part in helping
to land U.S. astronauts on the moon. When they do land,
it will be proof of this nation's continuing leadership in
science and technology. And these developments will be
available to assist our defense capability.
Remember that, the next time
somebody asks if the trip is necessary.
