"The Sputnik launch changed everything. As a technical achievement, Sputnik caught the world's attention and the American public off-guard. Its size was more impressive than Vanguard's intended 3.5-pound payload. In addition, the public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S. Then the Soviets struck again; on November 3, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a much heavier payload, including a dog named Laika.
The Sputnik launch also led directly to the creation of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In July 1958, Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act (commonly called the "Space Act"), which created NASA as of October 1, 1958 from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and other government agencies."- https://history.nasa.gov/sputnik/

Explanation:
The Iran-Contra scandal, also known as Irangate, was a political event that took place in 1985 and 1986, in which senior officials of the United States government, under the administration of President Ronald Reagan, facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, a country against which an arms embargo weighed. Both operations, the sale of arms and the financing of the Contra, were prohibited by the US Senate.
The operation to sell arms to Iran produced more than 47 million dollars, money that was managed by Oliver North through a network of bank accounts in Switzerland and was used, mainly, to finance the aggression against the government of Nicaragua and support to the Contra.
