Americans Sure Russians Plan Man To Moon WASHINGTON (UPI) — U.S. space authorities from President Kennedy on down take no stock in a British scientist’s report that the Russians may abandon the “race” to the moon. American authorities are sure the Russians are driving to put men on the moon and, eventually, Mars. In any case, they noted, this is what the Russians themselves have been saying again and again. Sir Bernard Lovell, Britain’s famous radio astronomer who had just returned home from three weeks in Russia, said Tuesday Soviet scientists were not convinced it was a good idea to send people to the moon. In the lunar sweepstakes, he suggested “the Americans are racing themselves”, and not the Russians. Kennedy, asked at his news conference Wednesday about Lovell’s statement, replied: “His information is not final.’* The President said the Soviet space capability is "substantial” and there is “every evidence that they are carrying on a major campaign and diverting greatly needed resources to their space effort.” “I think we ought to go right ahead with our own program and go to the moon before the end of this decade,” Kennedy said.
