Following the launch of Sputnik, the Soviet Union's first satellite, the US government significantly increased federal funding, primarily due to a perceived "space race" threat during the Cold War, leading to a fear that the US was falling behind in technological advancements, particularly in military capabilities, and thus needed to rapidly accelerate research and development in science and engineering fields to catch up.
