@cspanofficial: 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. #cspan #cspanabc #books #BookTok
