The History of NASA

NASA was officially formed through the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 to in part
pursue"activities inspace that should be devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind
The impetus for NASA's formation was complex, but briefly put
, the United States and the Soviet Union were in the midst of a Cold War
, which Encyclopedia Britannica describes as "an ongoing political rivalry"
between those
countries and their allies between the end of the Second World
War in 1945 and 1991 when the Soviet Union dissolved.
That rivalry spurred missile technology and rocket development.
NASA itself argues that it was formed due to "technological advances in other countries",
saying that "lagging" in space matters "would put America not only at a technical disadvantage but also an economic
and perhaps even military one."
