Happy Birthday NASA
Exactly 48 years ago today Americas President Eisenhower sign the
American National Aeronautics and Space Act. Since then NASA has done some remarkable advances culminating as far as human space flight goes with Apollo 11 and the rest of the Apollo missions. However since then NASA has become from my un American eyes more and more timid afraid of the heath and safety lawyers, and over bureaucratic, and content to just send humans into LEO. Makes you wonder if NASA will be in existence in 2054 for it's 96th Birthday. And if so what it will have achieved by then i.e. if we will have journeyed beyond the Moon and have entered the solar system proper? It's a somewhat moot question for me as I'll probably be long dead by then. :-( -- Christopher Who cares who wins !!! |
