65th Anniversary of NASA



On October 4th, 1957 Sputnik 1 was launched into Orbit, kickstarting mankind’s journey into space. Less than a year later, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act – officially forming NASA. For the next 65 years the agency pushed the limits of human spaceflight. In a retrospective look, Nightly films explores the greatest moments in the history of this pioneering agency – from the monumental undertaking of the Moon Landing to the incredible construction of the International Space Station, reflecting on how the agency has changed mankind’s knowledge of, and relationship with, space.

  1. Next year. 2024 will be the 100 anniversary of Hubble’s andromeda galaxy awakening. Until then the world thought the Milky Way was the entire universe and Earth was the center of it all. They had no idea those smudgy images they saw through earlier telescopes, were galaxies, each with their own billions of stars.

  2. For 65 years we had to listen to and look at NASA lies and fake footage. We dont want to see fake images of other "planets". We want to see what it looks like beyond Antarctica and what our NASA taxes are spent on. Everybody knows the Moon Landings was a Hoax. Thats why NASA turns off comments below most of their videos.

  3. The way you share personal stories and experiences in your videos creates a sense of connection with your viewers.

  4. Wind beneath my wings NASA. Truly. 🫡🇺🇸🌍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  5. Ceding NASA & US space programs to the EU and NATO is one of the worst things that Americans have ever allowed their government to do.

  6. NASA i believe are liars about alot of stuff more than you know. The red insignia the symbol of nasa looks like a serpent tongue , a lying tongue , 2 fork rongue, dont believe everything you hear or see.The only thing is real is Jesus Christ. Repent or Perish people last days warning, Jesus is coming. Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. Bible study 101.on you tube every night at 9;15 pm CST click on the blue lantern for the real Jesus Christ if anyone claims Jesus and says you can sin every day is of the devil and Jesus is going to cut you down devil. Have a good day 😊

  7. "The dawn of the space age" soundtrack over an image of the Space Shuttle taking off.

  8. Thank you for sharing this. My Dad was an Engineer on the Apollo program and I worked at the Space Center during the Shuttle program. This brings back great memories, enthusiasm for what we are now doing and an excitement for what is to come.

  9. And thanks to President Trump we now have Space Force. Those who bash it are beyond ignorant.
