THE REFORMS OF THE 1960'S
The contributors of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) were John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Wernher von Braun, and Richard Nixon. Before the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was created, it was known as the National Advisory Comittee for Aeronautics. 
Because of the Sputnik satelitte, NASA was put into full effect. This was also known as the Space Race. NASA's first operation began on October 1, 1958.  The reform occured by the contributors giving the organization money. NASA also helped us to land the first men on the moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
NASA still contributes today by conducting research. NASA also contributes by distributing technology into our economy. It occured by the government giving money to the organization.
