Who set the goal that america would put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s? nasa walter cronkite president john f. kennedy neil armstrong

The correct answer is John F Kennedy.

Kennedy made this ambitious goal for the United States due to the recent success of the Soviet Union's space program. The Soviet Union was constantly ahead of the United States in terms of space achievements. This includes sending the first satellite into space that would orbit the Earth as well as sending the first individuals into space in general.

America often accomplished these goals after the Soviet Union. In order to change the fate of this race for space achievements, Kennedy made the lofty goal of putting a man on the moon before the end of the 1960's. This goal was achieved after his presidency, as the first moon landing was in 1969.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
