In July 1969, NASA launched the Apollo 11 mission with the purpose of sending humans to the Moon and returning them safely to Earth. In a rousing speech during his presidency, John F. Kennedy challenged the nation to meet the obstacles in front of it during the Space Race with the Soviet Union.
After the Soviets were the first to launch an orbiting satellite and the first to send a human into orbit, President Kennedy rallied the American people and laid down a gauntlet for both the nation and NASA. His challenge: send mankind to the Moon and bring those astronauts safely home. Oh, and it needed to be done by the end of the decade.
