Question

question 7 of 8
the cost of president kennedys space program...
a is too great and cannot be beared evenly by the american people.
b has increased threefold because of its importance in the presidents eyes and the jobs it creates.
c has actually decreased in american taxes because of the jobs it creates.
d is not very expensive when one considers the guaranteed benefits it will bring america in the very near future.

Explanation:

This question relates to the framing of President Kennedy's space program (Apollo Program) and its perceived value. Option A is incorrect as the program was framed as a unifying, bearable national effort. Option B is wrong because there's no basis for a threefold cost increase tied to jobs/President's view. Option C is false since the program required government spending, not tax decreases. Option D aligns with the official and public framing of the program: its long-term/near-future benefits (technological innovation, national prestige, economic spinoffs) were emphasized to justify its cost as reasonable.

Answer:

D. Is not very expensive when one considers the guaranteed benefits it will bring America in the very near future.
