Why was President John F. Kennedy determined to win the Space Race?

basically to kinda win the space feud against the soviet union and show that america is better

hope this helps a bit

he believed that congress would be better not dealing with "lobbyists", or people who seek to influence (a politician or public official) on an issue, since historically, they had problems with these kinds of people. he thought lobbying produces benefits, but should be carefully monitored.

that would be the steamboat because none of the other things are forms of transportation
