Kennedy thinks that because we Americans discovered a lot of things before anyone else we should be the first ones to go to the moon by the end of the 1960s. While the moon is still there, we could still go. That generation is ready for anything, that they have knowledge, skill, etc. He thinks that we would accomplish more if we go to the moon. They also have a great budget, And to not be in the last place like always he want's to be first. They set a goal to go to the moon this generation to have more skill, be prepared, and accomplish that goal, they want to make it a challenge. There are many places where they could go instead of the moon, but they chose the moon because it will be a bigger challenge. he is also very confident in us United
