John F. Kennedy do not claim the fact that Communist Cuba is so close to American soil is one reason we need to accelerate our space program.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The Space Program of America was accelerated due to the reason that the Union of Soviet launched its satellite earlier in 1957. Union of Soviet launched their satellite named Sputnik earlier and this led off to a race in space to launch satellite prior than any other country could.

The time of space race was also the time of Cold War and America was willing to make a vigorous move. This led the American Space Program work more and more and launch Apollo Project, to send a human on moon. These claims were done at his speech in Houston Texas in University of Rice.
