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.

Happenings :-
Here there are 2 children :- Tammy & Sammy. Both of them attended Mr. Morton's reading class. He wasn't too strict about deadlines. Seeing this, Sammy took advantage of this situation & didn't complete his homework on time. On the other hand, Tammy worked hard & stayed up a little in order to complete the homework because she knew that reading was an important virtue. One day they planned to visit an amusement park. Unfortunately it was on that day that Sammy's mother scolded him about not completing his homework. He had to struggle hard to finish it. Tammy however had a good time at the park. When the results came out, Tammy scored A while Sammy could only get C-. This story shows us how procrastination is not the best way to do things & how we must work hard to achieve good results.
Shorter Version :-
Tammy & Sammy are 2 students who attended Mr. Morton's class. Though he's lenient , Tammy still completes her work on time but Sammy doesn't. He took advantage of his teacher & because of this he couldn't go to the amusement park. He also scored low grades. Tammy went & enjoyed & scored an A for reading. So, we must work hard & not procrastinate.
