Why, the President asked, should the United States and the Soviet Union conduct parallel efforts that would include "duplication, of research, construction, and expenditure?"<br /><br />He laid out a proposal for a joint series of space missions, which if enacted, he said "will require a new approach to the Cold War." But like his earlier proposals to the Russians on joint manned spaceflight, this one also was rejected by the Khrushchev government.<br /><br />But Sergei Khrushchev told SpaceCast, that in the weeks after the rejection, his father had second thoughts. While the Premiere had agreed with Russian military leaders that said any joint Moon flight would provide an opportunity for the U.S. military to learn more about Russian rocket and missile programs, he now thought that it might be possible to learn more from the technology of the Americans.<br /><br />"He thought that if the Americans wanted to get our technology and create defenses against it, they would do that anyway. Maybe we could get (technology) in the bargain that would be better for us, my father thought." <br /></i><br /> <a href="http://www.spacewar.com/news/russia-97h.html" rel="nofollow">Soviets Planned to Accept JFK’s Joint Lunar Mission Offer</a>Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220942517267393608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225855.post-82700155359521094662011-08-29T00:04:47.669+01:002011-08-29T00:04:47.669+01:00Declassified JFK memo to Naza outlining proposals ...<a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/04/18/article-1378284-0BB00D3200000578-569_468x561_popup.jpg" rel="nofollow">Declassified JFK memo</a> to Naza outlining proposals for joint work with USSR on deep space and lunar landing programs dated 10 days prior to his death.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220942517267393608noreply@blogger.com
