I think Kennedy's motives were as cynical, only on a grand scale.
There is a saying that, if a monkey wants to get to the moon it climbs of a tree and thinks "I made the first step, I'm on my way to the moon". I think if humans collectively want to colonize the planets, or other star systems, sending a few men to the moon or Mars is almost as relevant.
