How was NASA founded?

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was founded on July 29, 1958, by the United States government in response to the growing competition of the Soviet Union in space exploration. Originally formed as a response to the successful launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union, NASA's mission was to coordinate the nation's civilian space exploration efforts and research. Over the years, NASA has played a crucial role in advancing space exploration and technology, making significant contributions to our understanding of the universe and our ability to explore beyond Earth's atmosphere.
