About This Quote

In this quote, Emmeline Pankhurst was saying that it would be easy to send a small group of men to the moon because the expense of sending them there could not be measured. She was speaking in reference to Britain's unsuccessful attempt to send a man into space. She was referring to a quote from former Prime Minister Winston Churchill that said “We have always known the moon is a great place for looking at, but we have not yet discovered that it is also a great place for landing upon.”
