On July 29, 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Act was signed into law by then-U.S. president Dwight “Ike” D. Eisenhower. Two months later, NASA began operations with about eighty employees. Today, NASA is the world’s leading explorer and researcher of our Earth, solar system, and the universe.
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Discovery Channel has an online birthday party at “Looking Back at 50 Years of NASA.”

Discovery Space adds, “During the next 90 days we’ll be adding more, so be sure to check back often!”
