No he did not, but as presedent he was the inspiriation for the successfull NASA project to send a man to the moon.
because he wanted AMerica to reach the goal of the first man on the moon before the end of the 1960's... believe in your country and your nation
John F Kennedy
President John F. Kennedy in 1961.
The US President who said, "We choose to go to the moon," was John F. Kennedy. He spoke these words in a speech at Rice University on September 12, 1962, outlining his vision and commitment to the Apollo space program.
As the target was set by president John F. Kennedy in 1961 to land a man on the moon and to bring him back to earth safely.
President Kennedy sponsored him to go to the moon, and he agreed.
In 1961 John Kennedy set a target for the U.s.A to land a man on the moon and to return him back to the earth by 31/12/1969.
John F. Kennedy's visions were to go far beyond what we had talready thought we could do. Within 7 years of John F Kennedy speaking his mind we set foot on the moon.
President John Kennedy never did send any one to the moon, as he was assassinated in 1963, men walked on the moon in 1969.But he set the goal for the U.s.A.
back in 1961 president John F. Kennedy made a comitment of going to the moon. then in 1969 NASA acomplished that goal. so if you do the math it only took them about 8 yars, with 5 months to spare.
The stated purpose of President Kennedy's goal was to "land men on the moon and return him safelty to the earth." Kennedy said nothing about walking on the moon. NASA decided that if they were to send men to the moon, it would be logical that they go outisde and explore. Hence, the moonwalks.
JFK was not an inventor. He was a politician and president. His father Joe Kennedy raised him and his older brothers to go into politics. When his older brother Joe Kennedy, Jr. died it became John's place to become president. His older brother was suppose to run for the office. The senior Kennedy wanted to make sure that one of the boys was the first Irish Catholic president.
None. President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, the same year that John Glenn had circled the the world three times in the single seat mercury capsule, launched by an atlas rocket. The space program was just starting then. President Kennedy did not live to see the Gemini Program which followed launched by a Titan II rocket which carried two astronauts in the Gemini Capsule in the mid 1960's, nor the Apollo - Saturn Five Program that carried three astronauts to circle the moon in December 1968 and the Moon Landing in 1969. Neil Armstrong was the first human to walk on the moon in the summer of 1969. President Kennendy in a speach called for landing a man on the moon before the decade (1960's) was out. Unfortunately he did not live to see the mission/challenge carried out. AHB.
