Lawson Archer · Answer 1

A potential federal budget deficit.

Explanation:

On 12th September 1962, John F. Kennedy delivered a speech to the crowd gathered at Rice Stadium in Huston. In his speech, he tried to persuade his audience to support the mission of landing a man on the moon.

The first man was already launched into space by the Soviet Union on 12th April 1961. After this launch, Kennedy consulted vice President to know the possibilities of landing a man on the moon. Kennedy considered this as a major step to win in the race of freedom and tyranny.

But he could not achieve this mission because of the federal budget deficit as not many supported his idea of launching a man on the moon.
