Giant blob of parenthetical OR excised

The following was contained in a single parenthetical. This is clearly original research, even though it's not bad as a contextual aid. My paragraph breaks. My clarification needed.

Zond-Proton had demonstrated the capability to land cosmonauts on the Moon on this flight, though there was a significant probability that the entry^{[clarification needed]} and landing would not have been survivable.
Adapting ICBM boosters for human spaceflight had a legacy that goes back to the beginning, including the Titan ICBM for Gemini, the Atlas ICBM for Mercury, and the Soviet R-7 for the first human orbital missions. And even with suborbital missions, the Redstone of Project Mercury was a US Army IRBM.
President John F. Kennedy privately explained to NASA Administrator James Webb that the purpose of the human spaceflight program was as "a test of the system".^[1]^[2]
