Th United States became alarmed about a perceived national security threat and loss of technological superiority after Russia lunched its first human made satellite "Sputnik." President Eisenhower and others were convinced measures had to be taken to facilitate space efforts. Thus, in 1958 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established as a part of that effort.
