NASA was created in 1958 as an outgrowth of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, and primarily as a direct result of the Soviet Union's lead in developing technology to send humans into space, in particular the launch of Sputnik 1.
After the successful Soviet launch of the Sputnik 1 satellite in 1957, the Eisenhower Administration formed the NACA to investigate what a new federal agency dedicated to putting the U.S. in outer space should entail. The result of the committee's recommendations was NASA.
It should be noted that it wasn't just space exploration that was being focused on at the time; the U.S. knew that any county capable of sending anything into space would also have nuclear ballistic missile capability, and staying ahead of the technology curve was paramount during the Cold War.
No, NASA did not invent GPS. GPS technology was developed by the United States Department of Defense and became fully operational in 1995. NASA has used GPS technology in its missions for navigation and tracking purposes.
The Apollo 11 mission was developed by NASA, the United States space agency. It was led by Project Apollo, a program initiated by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 with the goal of landing humans on the Moon.
Then there may have been another goverment agency developed for the same cause.
Yes, the NASA temperature-sensitive material, also known as memory foam, was originally developed by NASA in the 1970s to improve seat cushioning and crash protection for astronauts during space missions.
Funding NASA's spinoffs allows for the transfer of technology and knowledge developed for space exploration to benefit society through commercial applications, stimulating innovation and economic growth. It also helps to maximize the return on investment in NASA's research and development efforts by creating tangible advancements that can improve everyday life.

edible toothpaste was invented by NASA so astronauts could swallow the toothpaste after brushing their teeth because spitting it out is harmful to people in the spacecraft and the equipment.
The NASA Mars Exploration Rover was developed in the early 2000s. The two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, landed on Mars in January 2004.
