The correct answer is  A. The fact that Communist Cuba is so close to American soil is one reason we need to accelerate our space program.

The American Space Program was accelerated because the Soviet Union launched in 1957 the satellite Sputnik, this started the space race. Since the world was in the middle of the Cold War, America needed to make a vigorous response. The government launched the Project Mercury two years later - in the President Eisenhower administration -.  During Kennedy’s administration, the Space Program became a priority. This led to the Apollo project that took the man to the moon. During his speech at the Rice University in Houston Texas, the President addressed the space run, he mentioned the 45 satellites that circled the earth and the Mariner spacecraft that were on its way to Venus.

A. The fact that Communist Cuba is so close to American soil is one reason we need to accelerate our space program.
