Answer:

To coordinate the space-related efforts of scientists and the military

Step-by-step explanation:

NASA was created in response to the Soviet Union's October 4, 1957 launch of its first satellite, Sputnik I. ... The United States prided itself on being at the forefront of technology, and, embarrassed, immediately began developing a response, signaling the start of the U.S.-Soviet space race.
