John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)
An optimistic and upbeat President John F. Kennedy suggested
that the Soviet Union and the United States cooperate on a
mission to mount an expedition to the moon. The proposal
caught both the Soviets and many Americans off guard.
In 1961, shortly after his election as president, John F. Kennedy announced that he was determined to win the “space race” with
the Soviets.
