C-SPAN's "America's Book Club" — Presidential historian and bestselling author Douglas Brinkley discussed President Kennedy's "moonshot" initiative, which challenged the United States to land a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s.

"All the engineers and radar people, et cetera, were like 'are you kidding me? We got no technology to do that.' And yet it became bipartisan in fashion to get it done," he said. "It stands now, the moonshot, as American 'can-do'-ism."

Watch the full interview SUNDAY at 6pm and 9pm ET/PT on C-SPAN.

Most people know that was declassified as a Hollywood project, JFK limited the minds of Communist Russia, to stop studying projectiles of such range and aptitude of the Moon, and focused on their satellite projects and funding them for that rocket funding, and it's impacts on military missiles, because JFK invested in Hollywood and mastered the minds of many, by staging and false landing, so projectiles range of Russian tech would be limited by the bolster of U.S. moral, and not given gross indexes of Russian funding because America already did its job, and forced Russia trickle down projects of mass funding to military grade versions of projectile rockets of a lesser range to satellite calculated ranges, THANKS JFK
