On July 29, 1958, when the Space Act was signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the United States established a civil space program that would be run by a new agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA. The Act charged NASA with eight objectives, including “the establishment of long-range studies of the potential benefits to be gained from, the opportunities for, and the problems involved in the utilization of aeronautical and space activities for peaceful and scientific purposes.” http://ecuip-xtf.lib.uchicago.edu/xtf/view?docId=grxr/natl-aero-space-act-1958-xl/natl-aero-space-act-1958-xl.dc.xml Tue, 29 Jul 1958 12:00:00 GMT
