Correct answer: He challenged America to land on the moon before 1970.
Explanation: In a 1961 address to Congress and subsequent speeches, JFK set the national goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the decade, which drove the Apollo program. NASA was created in 1958 (Eisenhower), the first U.S. human spaceflights occurred in 1961 under existing programs, and the Apollo–Soyuz joint mission happened in 1975.
