In May 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued a bold challenge to the nation to land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth by the end of the decade. This ambitious goal was part of the broader space race with the Soviet Union and aimed to demonstrate American technological superiority. Kennedy's commitment galvanized support for the Apollo program and inspired a generation to engage in science and technology.
