On this date, July 29, in 1958, NASA (the National Administration for Space and Aeronautics) was created by President Eisenhower when he signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act. Eventhough national security was the first priority when it was first thought of, NASA was set-up as a non-military, civilian-led agency. It was the soon-to-be NASA space scientists who pushed Congress to make sure their research was not driven by military priorities. NASA opened up for business on October 1, 1958. And just a few years later, in 1961, President Kennedy boldly set a goal of "landing a man on the Moon by the end of the decade, and returning him safely to the Earth." That goal was met with Apollo 11 mission in July of 1969.
