Answer 1

The correct answer is:

He challenged America to land on the moon before 1970.

John F. Kennedy famously set the ambitious goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s in his speech before a joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961. This goal significantly advanced the United States' efforts in the Space Race against the Soviet Union.
