Today in Nerd History: Happy Birthday to Nasa! Founded in 1958, NASA was founded to be a civilian operation for aeronautical research and space research.
NASA’s first logo was actually a seal, approved by President Eisenhauer in 1959. This seal was slightly modified in 1961 by President Kennedy. They first created the logo that was dubbed “the meatball” to simplify the seal. This name was created to distinguish it from the new logo in 1975, dubbed “the worm”. “The Meatball” hopped back into action as the official logo in 1992 and stayed that way until 2020 when “The Worm” was brought back out into use by administrator Jim Bridenstine.
