Ambassador Caroline Kennedy on JFK’s Moonshot - a great inspiration to The Earthshot Prize

“At the time, nobody was sure it was possible, Nobody knew how much it would cost. The necessary materials hadn’t been invented and scientists weren’t sure that a surface landing on the moon was even possible. But my father believed in the power of the idea. Over time, the vision, the purpose, the courage it embodied, has inspired each generation to take on its own challenges. Not because they’re easy, but because they are hard.” Caroline Kennedy, US Ambassador to Australia and daughter of President John F. Kennedy addressed The Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in New York City about the legacy of her father’s Moonshot project and the parallels that can be drawn from The Earthshot Prize.
