The choice that best summarizes Kennedy’s perspective on scientific progress is "scientific knowledge will inevitably improve the lives of people on this planet."

President Jhon F. Kennedy's inaugural address was delivered on January 20, 1961, when he became the 35th President of the United States.

During his speech, he referred to science in the following terms: "Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths and encourage the arts and commerce." So he was very interested in developing the kind of science that made humanity progress.
