What was president Kennedy’s position on space exploration

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy began a dramatic expansion of the U.S. space program and committed the nation to the ambitious goal of landing a man on the Moon by the end of the decade. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the satellite Sputnik, and the space race was on.

Explanation:

John F. Kennedy Space Center is the space port used by NASA to launch rockets.

Soon after the Second World War, a new international confrontation began, but with very particular characteristics. The Cold War polarized the world between followers of capitalism and followers of socialism. The first group was led by the United States and the second by the Soviet Union, both winners of Nazism in the conflict ended in 1945. As the main representations on each side were powerful enough to wreak havoc on the enemy and on humanity, a conflict especially in the ideological field, seeking to demonstrate the superiority of each political-social system. One of the main characteristics of this dispute was the space race, in which those involved ran to discover and conquer the universe faster. In this context, the United States built a missile test area in the Cape Canaveral region in 1949. The location was ideal, as it was close to the Equator and allowed a launch base facing the Atlantic Ocean. In the same year, the first sub-orbital flight took place. In 1951, the Air Force Missile Test Center was established and the first attempt to put a satellite into orbit was in 1957, resulting in a catastrophic explosion. It was not until the following year that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration agency, popularly known as NASA, was founded, which gradually transformed Cape Canaveral into its main launch site.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
