The first Nova series was designed in-house at NASA in 1959. This project examined several designs, the smallest having four F-1s in the lower stage and J-2s in the uppers. This design placed 24 tons in a lunar injection trajectory. These designs were presented to President Dwight D. Eisenhower on January 27, 1959

Hmm, so Kennedy already knew they had rockets to go to the moon, before he was president?
I did not know that.
I had to google that concept rocket and looking into it, I came across that.
