I believe that Eisenhower’s most significant foreign policy was the creation of NASA. The Soviets were three artificial satellites and on dog ahead of us when President Eisenhower told the army team that we needed to launch our own. He later created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in hopes to beat the Soviets to the moon since we had already lost in the race to space. The creation of NASA was critical because it occurred in the middle of the Cold War and at the time anything that could be done to outdo the Soviets was well appreciated at home and to the government. If we had not created NASA and just let the Russians win it would have seemed as if the U.S. was weaker and that we would not have been able to stand up to the more power Soviets. I believe that Eisenhower needed to create NASA to keep the people hopes up and fears down.
