I don't read the OP, but it was created by Eisenhower, why?
He is improving it [emoji16]I'm surprised they aren't claiming Trump made it.
Eisenhower did a lot of great stuff, not the least of which is the Interstate Highway System.I bet many democrats believe it was Kennedy. But it was Dwight D. Eisenhower.
On July 29, 1958, Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, establishing NASA.
While this new federal agency would conduct all non-military space activity, the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) was created in February 1958 to develop space technology for military application.

Watch Apollo 17 to learn the history of our moon and our planet.

Most people know the good stuff. Not as many know the horrible stuff.

Ah, sry. Thx for the clarification. I thought you might have been a trucker. But yeah, what a great project to be involved with. It brought America together. Made the country smaller.We were well paid to build that freeway.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics - WikipediaOn November 21, 1957, Hugh Dryden, NACA's director, established the Special Committee on Space Technology. The committee, also called the Stever Committee after its chairman, Guyford Stever, was a special steering committee that was formed with the mandate to coordinate various branches of the federal government, private companies as well as universities within the United States with NACA's objectives and also harness their expertise in order to develop a space program.
Wernher von Braun, technical director at the US Army's Ballistic Missile Agency would have a Jupiter C rocket ready to launch a satellite in 1956, only to have it delayed, and the Soviets would launch Sputnik 1 in October 1957.
On March 5, 1958, James Killian, who chaired the President's Science Advisory Committee, wrote a memorandum to the President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Titled, "Organization for Civil Space Programs," it encouraged the President to sanction the creation of NASA. He wrote that a civil space program should be based on a "strengthened and redesignated" NACA, indicating that NACA was a "going Federal research agency" with 7,500 employees and $300 million worth of facilities, which could expand its research program "with a minimum of delay."

The Moon Shot was Kennedy's baby, and Johnson's, and Nixon's.
We went to the Moon together, as a people, without party hackery, without partisanship, without nationalism, without tribalism, without cheating.
There was more than a little nationalism.
He is improving it [emoji16]

Not Nixon's.

He's ignoring it. He says global warming is a Chinese hoax. NASA says different.
Being a proud American is now considered to be nazi behavior by the left and their MSM.
Meanwhile they wait three months to denounce violent riots.
