President Dwight Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act on this day in history, July 29, 1958, which created NASA and led to America's dominance of space exploration.
No human has set foot on the moon since the Apollo program ended in 1972.
The creation of NASA joins the short list of Eisenhower's greatest achievements — first a general and then president. He stands among the most consequential individuals in American history. As Supreme Allied Commander in World War II, Eisenhower tactfully kept together a coalition of American, British and French leaders despite clashing egos and conflicting personal and national aims.
He orchestrated the June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion of Europe, arguably the greatest single logistical and military achievement in human history.
