 The US took steps to catch up and surpass the Soviets in the space race.

Note that founding NASA was one of those steps, but NASA was not a vehicle for funding math and science education.

Context:

The Sputnik satellite was sent into orbit by the USSR on October 4, 1957.  The Soviets announced its mission as a scientific one, to study the solar system.  In the Cold War atmosphere, of course, Americans were wary of what other motives the USSR might have had.  The Soviets launched Sputnik 2 in November, 1957, with a dog on board.  The USA scrambled to get its own satellite program operational, launching the first US satellite, Explorer, on January 1, 1958.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded in July, 1958, to continue the United States' advance in space technology.
