The paperwork was signed on July 29, but the NACA wasn't changed to NASA officially until Oct. 1.

Pardon the history lesson but I believe NASA was in fact born on July 29th, 1958. It only began operations on October 1st.

Battered, maligned, unappreciated, and definitely suffering from a lack of support, I for one look to NASA as for the long term hope of humankind – especially in the area of international cooperation. May they join with the ESA, JAXA, RSA, and the Chinese and move on out to the cold and dark!

Until the stars are ours!

We owe alot to Nasa and JPL, we understand our world as well as the others thanks to them, now we need to go boldly forward and get back to the moon and beyond and be the vissionaries and explorers we are and quit being timid. Happy Birthday

Happy birthday, NASA!

Albeit not perfect (its main flaw is perhaps being a bit too bureaucratic for the current time, a characteristic it shares with many other 50 year-old institutions, public AND private), NASA has been and still is an inspiration and a pretty good approximation of how space exploration should be.

And now, let's go for the next 50.

Would somebody please tell the politicians to do more jaw jaw and less idle threatening and let us explore and grow. There is a whole universe out there.
I would love to see NASA get to 100 with the next 50 years even better than the last.
