Today in history, President Eisenhower signed the congressional act that created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) which was authorized by Congress. Congress passed the final version of the bill on July 16, and President Eisenhower signed it into law on July 29, 1958. The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (Public Law 85Ð568) stated that the NACA would become NASA after ninety days unless the transition was proclaimed sooner by the NASA administrator.
