The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Considering that the U.S. was engaged in the Cold War with the Soviet Union at this time, the reason why might President Kennedy had chosen to include this line about leadership in his speech was that the Soviet Union had already launched the Sputnik spacecraft into space. This represented a notorious advantage for the USSR against the United States as the two rivals during the Cold War years. The US could not fall behind its worst enemy in those years, that is why President Kennedy decided to heavily invest in the space race program and shorten the distance with the USSR.

Ricky was ostracized from the society, which means that he was basically rejected by the people around him based on something he did or the way he looked. In his case, everyone exiled him from the 'school society' because of his weird bald patches on the scalp, but once they were gone, he was readmitted into the society.
