This is how NASA encapsulates 60 years of achievement in a 60-second video

On the occasion of the 60th birthday, US space agency NASA has just released a 60-second video recording the entire process of establishing and building the agency during the past six decades.

To tell what was achieved during the past 60 years in words, of course it was impossible because the achievement was too great. But if everything is expressed through images, it will probably be more realistic and accessible.

According to BGR, NASA's 60-year survival and development journey is encapsulated in a 60-second video. It is certainly a great challenge for those who build this anniversary video idea because to pick out the most significant events with humankind and NASA is not simple.

On October 1, 1958, NASA was officially founded with the mission of exploring the universe.

Of course due to the 60-second limit, every event passed very quickly. But somewhere, you can still recognize events that have become the focus, that is when John Glenn - the first American astronaut to fly into space on the Mercury Friendship 7 in 1962. It is the image of Mars sent from automatic exploration robots for decades.

Especially hard to ignore the moment when people set foot on the Moon or the moment an female astronaut watched the Earth from the ISS space station.

More than 60 years ago, the US Congress passed the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 16, 1958. Then this law was signed by President Eisenhower and issued on July 29. By October 1, 1958, NASA was officially founded with the mission of exploring the universe.

NASA of the next 60 years now has further ambitions when it wants to be in 2020 or in 2030.
