Explanation:

The claim focuses on the U.S. needing pre-eminence to guide space exploration toward peace rather than war.

1. The statement about the U.S. vowing to use scientific knowledge for all people aligns with framing the nation's leadership as a force for good, supporting the "sea of peace" goal.
2. The statement positioning the Moon landing as a step toward exploring other planets frames the U.S.'s pre-eminent role as advancing peaceful, progressive space exploration, which reinforces the claim.

Answer:

□ He suggests that landing on the Moon is just a small step on the way to exploring other planets.
□ He says that the United States has vowed to use scientific knowledge for the good of all people.
