In the late 50's into 1960 it was widely believed that not only did Russia have more powerful nuclear weapons but also the capability to deliver them. Improving the space program was a way to advance rocket systems research with the goal of not only delivering a man to the moon but also warheads to the Soviet Union. Vinnie,

But ...if Kennedy had gone and sought more arms support after Bay of Pigs not sure he would have go it. Space was a nice distraction. I think Bush could do something similar with energy or education - push Iraq away from the fore front, and work it in background. Easier said than done...
