In the wake of the Soviet Union’s pioneering launch of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin in 1961\, and a humiliating defeat at the Bay of Pigs days later\, President John F. Kennedy proposed Project Apollo as a solution to restoring America’s tarnished geopolitical standing. With Cold War tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States approaching an all-time high\, Kennedy argued that ramping up the space program would inspire global confidence in American excellence — and might even persuade people in developing countries to pick American “freedom” over Soviet “tyranny.” \n Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony is the curator of the Project Apollo collection at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum and teaches at Georgetown University. She is the author of Apollo to the Moon: A History in 50 Objects and a contributor to the television series Apollo’s Moon Shot. She lives in Washington\, DC.
