摘要

Since the inception of the US Space Program, space exploration has been linked in public discourse to the cluster of ideas and images constituting "the frontier." In the seven years between 1957 and 1963, Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy moved the nation from Sputnik-stunned to burgeoning space pioneers, linking the language of scientific and technological advancement to American exceptionalism and the romance and adventure of the frontier. Thus, the nation's conception of the space program, as a significant feature in the US-Soviet agon, was initially encouraged by early Presidential space discourse. The image endured well beyond the early years of the space program, to the turn of the century and the completion of the nation's shuttle program.;I argue that the ideas and images that constitute the frontier proved to be such a potent symbolic framework in American society that it functioned as a terministic screen for presidential pro-space discourse from the Eisenhower administration on. As the space age dawned, Dwight D. Eisenhower co-opted the dominant metaphor to justify his pragmatic and measured response to the Soviet Union's dramatic space achievements. One term later, John F. Kennedy's symbolic trajectory evolved pro-space discourse, building from an early continuation of Eisenhower's pragmatism to a transcendent justification for his vision of the nation's accelerated space efforts couched in a soaring mythic language, strains of which are still evident today. This nearly ubiquitous and certainly enduring nature of the space-frontier association in both popular and technical discourse signals its potential importance to rhetorical scholars and historians alike.

Eisenhower）选择了占主导地位的比喻来证明他对苏联取得的巨大太空成就的务实而审慎的回应。一个任期之后，约翰·肯尼迪（John F. Kennedy）的象征性轨迹演变为亲空间话语，从艾森豪威尔的实用主义的早期延续到他以高超的神话语言表达的关于国家加速太空努力的愿景的超然辩护，这种紧张感仍然很明显今天。在流行语和技术语篇中，空间边界协会的这种几乎无处不在且必定持久的性质表明它对修辞学者和历史学家的潜在重要性。
