industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of
nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of
the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it--we mean to lead it. For the
eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond. We
have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a
banner of freedom and peace. We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with
weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding.

One certain intention was when the editor said, "we mean to be a part of it we mean leading it." That statement shows us we can lead, we can be a part of something, and we can feel that doing something is important. The author is attempting to make us feel a part of something and feel good. When the author said,  "We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with tools of knowledge and understanding."  The author is seeking to convey why we don't need a weapon-filled country, we need to focus on keeping harmony and taking care of others around us. He teaches us that knowledge and understanding are far more damaging than weapons.
