For homework, please have a second look at JFK's "We choose to go to the moon" speech (available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouRbkBAOGEw&t=856s) and make metaphor mind map of the discourse of "space" in the speech. (Ask yourself, how does JFK speak about it and how DOESN'T he?)
In addition to this, please answer the question "How did the space race/moon landing influence artistic cultural output in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States?" Name specific examples/trends.
(For your edification, here's NASA's footage of the 1969 moon landing ("one small step" at approx. 22:30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E96EPhqT-ds)
It might help you to print out this list of presidential terms in order to contextualize historical events/milestones: https://history.house.gov/Institution/Presidents-Coinciding/Presidents-Coinciding/
