In 1961, President John F. Kennedy made history with an Esterbrook pen. As he championed the ambitious goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade, Kennedy used the pen to sign a crucial bill on July 21st that significantly increased NASA's budget. This legislative action was a key step in the U.S. space race, which had been ignited by the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957.
