What major program installed during the kennedy administration would bolster usa's prestige and power?

Space Program.

Before Kennedy decided that the United States should send people to the Moon, the U.S. reaction to a series of Soviet Union space successes, beginning with the launch of Sputnik 1 in October 1957, had been relatively muted. President Dwight Eisenhower did not believe it wise to try to compete with the Soviets in space achievements undertaken primarily for prestige purposes and thus was unwilling to approve a fast-paced U.S. effort in response to Soviet successes. In reality, there was in 1957 no “Sputnik moment” that led to accelerated government support of innovative space technology.

1. What approach did European settlers in America often take toward their physical environment?

Nataly [62]

1. I think they wanted to find the same conditions as they had before. Germans were farmers, so they were looking for the land for farming, Portuguese were fishermen so they were looking for coast to continue fishing.

2. As far as I remember a major goal <span>of the Erie Canal project </span>was to link Lake Erie and the other Great Lakes with the Atlantic.

3. I'm pretty sure that Erie Canal gave people an opportunity to use boats to deliver cargo and gave New York access to raw materials. And these goods were delievered to the East.

4. They knew that it's a useful experience to find out how the British canal system was built. I think they should ask something about what location to choose, about the benefits of different geography and climate.

Luden [163]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option D) Shipping

The Magnetic compass was one of the most revolutionary inventions for transport and navigation. Before the invention of the magnetic compass, most ships would navigate by studying the direction of the stars.

An early invention by the Muslims, it was a great way to navigate the seas but not the most efficient. Hence, there were cases of ships ending up on completely different places than intended.

With the Magnetic compass, ships could navigate the seas more precisely saving both costs and time.
