Who created NASA the piggy back?

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was not created by a single individual but was established by the U.S. government in response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1958. The National Aeronautics and Space Act, signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 29, 1958, officially created NASA, which became operational on October 1 of the same year. The agency was formed by merging various existing research programs, including the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA).
