As a result of kennedy’s space plans, nasa created the mercury program specifically to test new space technologies. to operate moon missions. to send americans into space. to send a satellite to mars.

The correct answer is " to send Americans into space."

The Mercury Program was developed in response to the success of the space program developed by the Soviet Union. The goal of this program was to have a spacecraft, with an American aboard, to orbit the Earth and return safely.  This was also developed as a test run to see how pilots could function/operate the technology in space. This helped the scientists at NASA to gain critical information necessary to help the US astronauts reach the moon at the end of the 1960's.

The correct answer is C'TO SEND AMERICANS INTO SPACE"
