Originally this was an underscore cue by Ron Jones for the Feature Documentary, Fight For Space. The part of the Narrator is that of speaking a special part from JFK’s powerful speech given at Rice University in 1962. This speech propelled mankind to build NASA and to eventually land on the moon and beyond.
