“No sir, I do not,” said Webb. “I think it is one of the top-priority programs, but I think it’s very important to recognize here . . .” and he listed other scientific and technical objectives.

That was not the answer Jack wanted, and in his words that followed are heard echoes of his father when the children put insufficient effort into a regatta:

Jim, I think it is the top priority. I think we ought to have that very clear. Some of these other programs can slip six months, or nine months.... But this is important for political reasons, international political reasons. This is, whether we like it or not, in a sense a race. If we get second to the Moon, it’s nice, but it’s like being second any time. So that if we’re second by six months, because we didn’t give it the kind of priority, then of course that would be very serious. So I think we have to take the view that this is the top priority with us.
