John F. Kennedy - "I'm not that interested in Space."
Tapes just released include a recording of a 1962 meeting between President Kennedy and James Webb, then-director of NASA, in which the President indicated that he had announced the plan to go to the moon because of the political value of beating the Soviets, and not because of a scientific interest in space. This tape seems to run counter to President Kennedy's image as a space visionary.
