马歇尔太空飞行中心的起源
On July 29, 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act “to provide for research into problems of flight within and outside the Earth’s atmosphere.” At the White House less than a month later, Eisenhower commissioned Dr. T. Keith Glennan, right, as the first administrator for NASA and Dr. Hugh L. Dryden as deputy administrator.
NASA officially opened for business 65 years ago on Oct. 1, 1958, to oversee the United States’ nonmilitary space activities. It was based on its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which was established in 1915 to “supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight, with a view to their practical solution.”

1958年7月29日，德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔总统签署了《国家航空航天法》，“规定对地球大气层内外的飞行问题进行研究”。不到一个月后，艾森豪威尔在白宫任命T·基思·格伦南博士（右）为NASA首任局长，休·L·德莱顿博士为副局长。
65年前的1958年10月1日，NASA正式成立，负责监管美国的非军事太空活动。它的前身是1915年成立的美国国家航空咨询委员会，旨在“监督和指导对飞行问题的科学研究，以期找到切实可行的解决方案”。
