President Kennedy.
It was subtle, he knew that what they were doing was only going to help legalize surveylance satilites in the future, so he let them do their thing, while he just finished up his contribution to the space race
The Space Race officially began with the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1 on October 4th, 1957. The Sputnik 1 was the first Earth Orbiting Artificial Satellite to be launched which caused great shock to the United States. The United States believed themselves to be the leader in Space Technology and were therefore surprised by the launch of the Sputnik Program except for the CIA and President Eisenhower, who were aware of this thanks to spy plane imagery. I can not find when the Space Race ended
the space race started when the soviet union union launched Sputnik into space.

It was President John F. Kennedy
Man, do you need to use the Spell Check program! I THINK you meant to ask "WHO WAS PRESIDENT WHEN THE SOVIET UNION LAUNCHED THEIR SPACE SHUTTLE?" As they don't have a space shuttle, we don't know who the president will be when they do have one.
John F. Kennedy is credited for having a positive impact on the space program in the 1960s. During his presidency, Kennedy began to dramatically expand the program.
The United States launched missions from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida during the 1960s. This iconic space center was chosen for its proximity to the equator and its accessibility to both the Atlantic Ocean and the logistical support of nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The US National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA)
The United States' space program was significantly launched under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who established NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in 1958 following the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik. Eisenhower's administration recognized the importance of space exploration for national security and scientific advancement, leading to a focus on developing U.S. capabilities in space. This initiative marked the beginning of an ambitious era in space exploration that would continue through subsequent administrations.
