In President Kennedy’s speech, “Remarks at the Dedication of the Aerospae Medical Health Center,” he creates and states valid points on how the United States should be more involved in space research and exploration. He begins his speech by addressing the audience as “pathfinders” and “pioneers.” He uses these phrases to appeal and interest many risk-takers, and intentionally calling out for action to those who want to make a change. In addition, he uses specific language to appeal to these types of audiences. For example, he states in his introduction, words like “opportunity” , “New Frontier” , and “human endeavor,” which insipres many to support space research and exploration.

For example, he states that new monitors can be invented where astronauts will be able to have their heart activity measured, as well as their breathing, their brain waves, and their eye motion. Additionally, he claims that, “Heart patients may even be able to wear a light monitor which will sound if their activity exceeds certain limits.” Not to mention, he uses appealing language, where he says that, “An instrument recently developed to record automatically the impact of acceleration on an astronaut’s eyes will also be of help to small children who are suffering miserably from eye defects...unable to describe their impairment.” Based on the specific words like “suffering”, “miserably”, and “impairment,” it shows the implication that Kennedy is using these words with the intention to elicit sympathy from the audience. This creates a sense of persuasion to make the audience believe that space research will help many children that are in need of medical assistance.
The third reason the Kennedy draws upon is, “Medical space research may lead to new safeguards against hazards common to many environments.” As an example, he states that, “...our astronauts will need fundamentally new devices to protect them from the ill effects of radiation which can have a profound influence upon medicine and a man’s relation to our environment.” The suggestion here is that Kennedy hopes that the audience will lean into what he is saying, which is that the use of medical space research can benefit the safety against dangerous components within the society’s
