The moon landing is considered part of Kennedy’s legacy even though it happened during the Nixon administration. Why is this?

Kennedy made reaching the Moon a national goal in 1961 and supported the Apollo program that pursued it. Although astronauts landed on the Moon in 1969, during Nixon’s presidency, the program had begun under Kennedy and was inspired by his commitment. Choice A is incorrect because NASA was established in 1958, before Kennedy became president.
