The right answer is B “it is important to go to the moon”. On September 1962, President Kennedy delivered a speech communicating his goals for the national space effort in front of a huge crowd in the football stadium at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He declare the American thought that they were losing the “space race” against the Soviets so in the Congress he declared, with this exact words “this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.”
