This 14-page, 6-source piece traces the history of NASA from 1958-1985. The author discusses how NASA was created partly out of the need for new frontiers and partly out of fear that Soviets would become militarily superior to the United States after the launch of Skylab in 1957. Describing some of its early struggles and credibility problems, the author traces how, with help from the Kennedy Administration, NASA was able to put a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s. The author also discusses how NASA survived the budget cuts and changing political climate of the 1970s by pushing forward, culminating in the launch of the Space Shuttle in 1981. The piece closes by discussing how, by 1985, NASA had plans for a manned space station and was re-evaluating its mission and key functions, tasks it will have to accomplish as we move into the 21st century.
