In an interview in U.S. News & World Report, NASA Administrator Webb stated that "the kind of overall space effort that President Kennedy has recommended will put us there [on the Moon] first." This achievement, costing between $20 and $40 billion, "probably toward the $20 billion level will be most valuable in other parts of our economy." Mr. Webb said that the U.S.S.R. did have an advantage in being able first to orbit a multimanned spacecraft around the Earth and also around the Moon.
A Navy YFNB barge was obtained by NASA to serve as a replacement for the Palaemon in transporting of the Saturn booster to Cape Canaveral.
