On May 5, 1961, the United States launched into the Space Age with Alan Shepard becoming the first American (and second human being) to fly into space. Other countries (notably Russia and China) recognize their entry into the Space Age with national celebrations, but the United States does not. LaRouche Policy Committee member Kesha Rogers hosted an event to commemorate this giant leap, these are her opening remarks during that presentation. _________________________________________________________ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: http://lpac.co/youtube Get active, become an organizer: http://lpac.co/action Receive daily email updates from LaRouchePAC: http://lpac.co/daily Donate to LaRouchePAC: http://lpac.co/donate-yt Keep connected at: https://larouchepac.com/ https://www.facebook.com/LaRouchePAC https://soundcloud.com/larouche-pac https://twitter.com/larouchepac
