President Kennedy calls for a mission to send man to the moon during a joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961. By Richard Stenger. CNN. (CNN) -- Forty years ago on this day, President John F. Kennedy presented a bold challenge before a joint session of Congress: Send a man to the moon by the end of the decade. Some derided the dream as lunacy.
After 1961, under President Kennedy, American efforts intensified while the Soviet programme suffered from infighting after Korolevâs death at 59 in 1966, following an operation that went wrong. The Luna programme continued and in 1966, the year of Korolevâs death, Luna 9 made the first soft landing on the Moon. In the end it was of course the Americans who won the race, in 1969, when their astronauts first walked on the Moon. For all the years of rivalry, the viewing room in Russia burst into huge applause as Neil Armstrong took the first steps.
