Answer 2

The following statement is false: "The social context of the 1960s discouraged innovation and exploration because people were afraid of new technologies and feared being overrun by space aliens."  

Of the four statements all of them are true except for the last one. In the 1960s, the United States was involved in the Cold War. The Soviet Union and the United States competed to be more innovative in creating weapons and technology to reach space. This meant that in the 1960s, innovation and exploration were encouraged, rather than discouraged.
