JFK was assassinated on 22 November 1963. In a speech, he had promised that America would put a man on the moon by 1970. Look up the flight of Apollo 11 to determine if Kennedy was correct.

Hi MrV. Welcome to Jiskha! :-)

Neil Armstrong walked on the moon after JFK died. To verify this, we can break down the sequence of events:

1. John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, famously set the goal of landing an American on the moon before the end of the 1960s. He first proposed this ambitious plan in a speech to Congress on May 25, 1961, known as the famous "Moonshot" speech.

2. JFK's vision laid the groundwork for the Apollo program, which aimed to achieve that goal. The Apollo program included several missions leading up to the eventual moon landing.

3. Unfortunately, JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. This was several years before any moon landing took place.

4. Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Armstrong's historic words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," are etched in history.

In summary, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon after JFK's death, eight years after JFK announced the goal of landing an American on the moon.
