Happy Birthday NASA - July 29, 1958

Today we celebrate the 59th birthday of NASA

NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - an independent agency of the US government for private space missions and research. There was a clear focus since the beginning to conduct all non-military space activity.

The vision of NASA is to unveil the unknown for humankind. Thousands of staff are working across the globe to find out if there are Aliens out there and what is going on outside our little planet Earth. NASA HQ is based in Washington and was originally founded by former US president Dwight D. Eisenhower.
