Cold War was well underway, and up until this point, the Soviet Union had greatly surpassed the United States in the space race. America’s space program, called the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), was waning in comparison to the space program in the USSR.

This embarrassment prompted President Kennedy to become a man on a…

Their new goal was to get man to the moon. Once again the competition got harder. JFK’s speech was a bold and…
