JFK
John F. Kennedy served as the 35th President of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination on November 22, 1963. He was the youngest man elected to the presidency and the first Roman Catholic to hold the office. Kennedy is best known for his leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis, his establishment of the Peace Corps, and his commitment to landing an American on the Moon before the end of the 1960s. He previously served as a Democratic Congressman and U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, and was a decorated Navy veteran of World War II.
“Cited as having commissioned a subsea equivalent of the space program and tripled funding year-over-year to explore Earth's oceans — establishing that ocean exploration was a co-equal national ambition to going to the moon before being abandoned.”
