A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649.Cyrano was dead and buried for     2     good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.

In 1961, when Kennedy declared that America     3     (send) a man to the moon by the decade's end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech     4    , delivered by Martin Luther King two years later.
