Science & Policy Historian needed

I'm working on a marketing video for my startup and am looking for someone who can identify inspiring moments in the history of science & technology. Preferably, events that also involved political backing.

We'd like to incorporate a well known speech about the advancement of mankind through technology. A good example is JFK's "We're going to the moon" speech.

Would like to brainstorm this Sunday at 4:30 PM. Offering $100 and free beer.
