What goal did Kennedy set to achieve before the decade of the 60's was over?
President Kennedy set the goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth before the 1960's were over. He did this for many reasons, however probably the biggest one was the space race with the Soviet Union. The U.S.S.R. had already launched the satellite Sputnick into space. This was also the era of Cold War. Not only was there a race to space, but there was also nuclear escalation. The two world powers, the United States and the U.S.S.R. were playing a deadly game of one up manship. President Kennedy felt that the country that was first to the moon would be the top super power. As a side effect of the efforts in the space race, many new industries and products were created that are still with us today.
