Explanation:

Kennedy uses emotionally charged language like "great adventures of all time" and frames space exploration as a crucial, unavoidable quest tied to national leadership, which targets the audience's emotions (pride, sense of adventure, competitive spirit) to persuade them. This matches the definition of pathos, an appeal to emotion. Ethos relies on expert credibility (not present here), logos uses factual evidence (no specific facts are cited), and it is not just his opinion as it is a deliberate emotional appeal.

Answer:

Pathos: he is using emotion to urge the audience of the need to explore space
