President Kennedy influence the American public for idea of putting a man on the moon is given below.
Explanation:
- On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced before a special joint session of Congress the dramatic and ambitious goal of sending an American safely to the Moon before the end of the decade.
- A number of political factors affected Kennedy's decision and the timing of it. In general, Kennedy felt great pressure to have the United States "catch up to and overtake" the Soviet Union in the "space race." Four years after the Sputnik shock of 1957, the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin had become the first human in space on April 12, 1961, greatly embarrassing the U.S. While Alan Shepard became the first American in space on May 5, he only flew on a short suborbital flight instead of orbiting the Earth, as Gagarin had done. In addition, the Bay of Pigs fiasco in mid-April put unquantifiable pressure on Kennedy.
- He wanted to announce a program that the U.S. had a strong chance at achieving before the Soviet Union. After consulting with Vice President Johnson, NASA Administrator James Webb, and other officials, he concluded that landing an American on the Moon would be a very challenging technological feat.
- The decision involved much consideration before making it public, as well as enormous human efforts and expenditures to make what became Project Apollo a reality by 1969. Only the construction of the Panama Canal in modern peacetime and the Manhattan Project in war were comparable in scope. NASA's overall human spaceflight efforts were guided by Kennedy's speech; Projects Mercury (at least in its latter stages), Gemini, and Apollo were designed to execute Kennedy's goal.
- His goal was achieved on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped off the Lunar Module's ladder and onto the Moon's surface.
In honor of Kennedy's historic speech, below are some documents and other information relating to the decision to go to the Moon and Project Apollo that we hope you find useful.

Answer:
There are two major problems with foreign aid.
The first is that it tends to involve solutions that are developed and implemented by outside actors with little input from communities. Providing solutions to problems that don't exist, or providing the wrong solutions to problems that do exist, are great ways to waste money. Unfortunately, aid structures tend to operate in a way that create disincentives for seeking out community input. Aid actors typically need to present a fully-formed project plan to be considered for funding, yet aid actors need initial funding in order to determine needs and create a locally tailored and sustainable project. It's a vicious cycle that feeds on ignorance.
That leads to the second problem: a lack of monitoring and evaluation. It's only in the last ten years or so that major international institutions like the World Bank have even begun including monitoring and evaluation in project plans, much less prioritizing it. Without M&E, it's impossible to learn what actions and processes are effective, and which cause more problems. That international development in the modern sense has been happening for some 50+ years (and by some evaluations for some 100+ years before that), but only 10 of those have involved any sort of mass movement to evaluate effectiveness, is likely a major reason that so many major aid projects have not seen the intended results.
As a result of these two major issues (as well as other systemic problems within the development community), aid projects have, in some cases, done a great deal of harm.
