43 POINTS AND WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST
Read the following excerpt and pay close attention to the words the author uses:

Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the 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.

in this passage, i experienced both positivity and the opposite. Some words i can use to describe this passage are influential, certain, and beneficial. i can use influential to describe this passage because it states,"For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond." this tells me that the people are willing to go and explore the space and beyond for freedom and not in hostage. i can use certain because it states,"Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the 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." this shows me that they were certain and proved it too. last but not least i can use determined because in the text it states,"We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons of mass destruction, but with instruments of knowledge and understanding." this shows me that they are willing to prevent these and are determined to chance the world for good.
