The U.S. Congress passes legislation establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a civilian agency responsible for coordinating America’s activities in space.
In a This Day in History video, learn that on July 29, 1958, the United States committed men, money, and technology to winning the space race. NASA was created after the Russians launched the satellite Sputnik. After eleven years, America pulled out ahead with Apollo 11. Now the space race is done; both the U.S. and Russia are manning the International Space Station together.
