The Space Race was an intense competition between us, the Americans and the Russians. When I was elected President, the Russians already had a man in space. Americans were very concerned that the Russians were getting ahead of them. I decided to plan the Apollo project. In 1969, six years after I was shot, America became the first nation and only nation that has ever reached the moon. A big accomplishment and one that made Americans feel superior over Russia.
