On January 20, 1961 President John F. Kennedy had relentless spirit and a willingness to outline an international invitation to science. He promised that the United States would land a man on the moon and return him safely to the earth. These comments came in view of the Russian Sputnik program that had launched and orbited cosmonauts before the flights of Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom and John Glen. It its utterly ironic that the moon landing did not actually take place until a latter time under the presidential candidate that lost the election of 1960, but was then elected latter. We, perhaps, failed to really achieve scientific cooperation in space until such cooperation was used to make the International Space Station work as expected for its two major users. At present, a new issue as arisen by which a renewed spirit of cooperation could yet avert the possibility of an international health disaster. Harping, carping, snipping and mutual disrespect needs to end with respect to the development of a Covid-19 vaccine. The truth is that we needed that vaccine yesterday, and the likes of Kennedy and Nixon are gone.
