Which connection does President Kennedy make between past attempts at a space race and the attempt he wished to make in 1961?

Space race

Explanation:

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy began the expansion of the space program and took the goal of landing a man on the Moon by the end of the decade.

The Sputnik I was a technological success with its size, caught the world attention, especially Americans who were astonished.

In 1961, America suffered another blow when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to orbit the Earth.
