Happy Birthday to NASA

President Eisenhower commissions Dr. T. Keith Glennan as first administrator and Dr. Hugh Dryden as assistant administrator

50 years ago today President Eisenhower signed the legislation creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It’s had a bumpy 50 years, but the agency has been responsible for inspiring millions of people all over the world. No matter what what you may say, NASA has done more for space exploration that any other agency in the world.

I just wish it could have done more! There’s still the next 50 years, of course…
