Kennedy In a speech to garner public support for America’s space program, Kennedy challenged the nation to reach the Moon with a manned spaceship, and safely return the crew home (an important caveat) before the end of the decade.Kennedy’s challenge was done in the face of rising criticism against the cost of the space program in the face of other concerns at home. His rhetoric centered upon American can do attitudes, accepting a challenge not because it is easy but precisely because it is hard. Incidentally, the challenge was met when Apollo 11 landed on the Moon July, 20, 1969.Apollo Program, NASA, Moon Landing, Space RaceApollo Program, NASA, Moon Landing, Space RaceApollo Program, NASA, Moon Landing, Space Race Apollo Program, NASA, Moon Landing, Space Race
