Kennedy had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the Apollo porgram. It was created during the Eisnhower administration in early 1960, a full year before Kennedy took office. Kennedy's role in Apollo was to give it a mission. That mission was "to land a man on the moon and retrun him safely to the earth."
