Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology has been adapted for many non-aerospace uses by the private sector, and NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Starting with its creation 60 years ago through President Eisenhower, the History of NASA tells the story of all the agency's spaceflight programs, from unmanned satellites to putting humans on the Moon, and all the triumphs and tragedies that accompany such daring exploration.
