They skipped the part of the speech where Kennedy said the spacecraft will encounter "temperatures almost half that at the surface of the sun, almost as hot as it is here today." Hehe.

1: That would've taken away the serious part of this video

2: Did he really say that? Link for audio pls?

1. Yes. Yes it would. I'm not criticizing them, I just found it amusing when he said that.

2. 

He says it a little after 15:40.

Looks like they also skipped the part where he says "Why climb the highest mountain? Why, 20 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon and do the other things..."

Or they skipped the second 2 sentences. Which is unfortunate, because it's my senior quote.

This is a wild guess, and I haven't watched the video yet so I may be totally off in left field here, but if memory serves, Kennedy gave this speech twice, once at Rice University, and once in a special session of Congress. The video might just be using the second version of the speech.

Edit: Looks like I am off in left field here. Nevermind. :)
