Explanation:

Kennedy compares space exploration to sailing on a "new sea," which is a metaphor—a type of figurative language that draws a direct comparison between two unrelated things to clarify or emphasize an idea. He does not contrast space and the ocean, use irony, or a rhetorical question here.

Answer:

Figurative language: he is using a metaphor to compare space exploration to a journey at sea
