The United States can demonstrate its superiority to the Soviet Union by sending a man to the moon.
Explanation:
The "Apollo program" of the U.S. was<em> a response to the early successes of the Soviet Union,</em> especially when it comes to "outer space." Even before, a Cold War was already happening between the United States and the Soviet Union.
The Apollo program was an opportunity for the Americans to prove themselves that they can demonstrate superiority to the Soviet Union when it comes to science and technology by sending a man to the moon. Thus, President Kennedy made a statement regarding the capability of the nation to achieve the goal. He wanted the nation to focus on the moon race and to add more budget to make it happen. In the end, they were indeed victorious.
