This Day in History: NASA Is Created (Saturday, July 29th)

This Day in History: , NASA Is Created.

July 29, 1958.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created as a means of keeping up with the space program of the former Soviet Union.

The Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellites had surprised and embarrassed the United States.

Americans were on edge that the Soviets would soon be capable of launching nuclear weapons.

President John F.

Kennedy announced the U.S. intention of landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s.

NASA spearheaded the monumental task and achieved that goal on July 20, 1969.

NASA continues to push the edge of space exploration, landing rovers on Mars in the past decade

VIDEO: Meteorite Crash Sparks PANIC Across South Carolina, Georgia After 'FIREBALL' Seen In Sky

A fiery object spotted blazing through skies above South Carolina, Georgia, and nearby states on Thursday afternoon has triggered investigations and emergency responses across the region. Multiple fire departments in South Carolina’s Upstate launched searches for a possible meteorite crash site after 12:20 p.m. Witnesses described a bright "fireball in the sky," and in Georgia, one homeowner reported a rock crashed through their roof. Officials are working to determine whether the object was a meteorite — a space rock that survived atmospheric entry — and if it impacted any populated areas. #MeteoriteCrash #SouthCarolina #GeorgiaFireball #FireballSighting #SpaceRock #Meteor #Meteorite #NASA #BreakingNews #MeteorCrash #UpstateFireball #MeteorSouthCarolina #HenryCountyCrash #SpaceAlert #MeteoriteNews #MeteorSky #FireballWatch #EmergencyResponse #SpaceEvent #MeteoriteImpact Also Read Orionids meteor shower: When and Where to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/orionids-meteor-shower-when-and-where-to-watch-in-india-2965516.html?ref=DMDesc Chile: Oldest meteorite collection on Earth discovered in Atacama Desert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/chile-oldest-meteorite-collection-on-earth-discovered-in-atacama-desert-2895379.html?ref=DMDesc Geminid Meteor Shower to peak tonight: Where and how to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/geminid-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-where-how-to-watch-india-2822045.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials [Video]

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant. #Putin #UkraineWar #WWIIMonuments #DeCommunization #NeoNazism #KurskRegion #RussianLegacy #UkraineConflict #RedArmy #PushkinStatue #CulturalErasure #PutinSpeech #RussiaUkraineWar #DeNazification #SovietLegacy #HistoricalRevisionism #UNESCOConcerns #KurskPowerPlant #UkraineAttack #KremlinNarrative #WarOfNarratives #EasternEurope #RussiaUkraineTensions #KievPolicy #UkraineNews #RussiaClaimsVictory Also Read Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~

Standing beside top officials and his daughter, Kim called Putin his “closest friend” and condemned the rise of “neo-Nazism” in Europe.

DHS’ New Campaign against IMMIGRATION | ‘Uncle Sam’ Poster asks people to report ‘Foreign Invaders’

The DHS has revived the iconic ‘Uncle Sam’ to urge Americans to report undocumented immigrants, calling them “foreign invaders.” The official poster, backed by the White House, has triggered national outrage over racial profiling and propaganda tactics. Critics say the image recycles war-era fear to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment. With ICE raids in LA and protests planned nationwide, the immigration debate is back in the spotlight—raising questions about democracy, identity, and the line between patriotism and persecution. #UncleSam #DHS #Trump #Immigration #ICE #ForeignInvaders #RacialProfiling #Propaganda #USPolitics #ImmigrantRights #NationalOutrage #WhiteHouse #BreakingNews #AntiICE #CivilRights #Protests #ReportImmigrants #PosterControversy #AmericanValues #USIdentity #DemocracyInCrisis Also Read POTUS Launches $5 Million 'Trump Card' Visa Programme Offering Path To US Citizenship :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-launches-5-million-trump-card-visa-programme-offering-path-to-us-citizenship-4179053.html?ref=DMDesc US Lauds 'Phenomenal Partner' Pakistan In 'Combating Terrorism', Hosts COAS Asim Munir; 'Setback' Says Oppn :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-lauds-phenomenal-partner-pakistan-in-combating-terrorism-hosts-coas-asim-munir-setback-sa-4179017.html?ref=DMDesc US Reduces Presence Of Staffers Not Deemed Essential In Middle East As Tensions Rise :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-reduces-presence-of-staffers-not-deemed-essential-in-middle-east-as-tensions-rise-4178953.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

Former Hamas Hostages’ Letter to Trump and Netanyahu REVEALED | Trump Pressed After Edan’s Release

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal. #Hamas #HostageCrisis #Israel #Trump #Netanyahu #EdanAlexander #MiddleEastPeace #FreeTheHostages #Gaza #USPolitics #IsraelHamasWar #TrumpDeals #SteveWitkoff #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #AmericanHostages #AbrahamAccords #SyriaIsrael #WarNegotiations #GlobalAppeal Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Launches Hamas-Style Missile Attack on Jammu; All Intercepted By Indian Air Defence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-launches-hamas-style-missile-attack-on-jammu-all-intercepted-by-indian-air-defence-4147919.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Warns Hamas As Israel Strikes Gaza Amid Truce Collapse: 'Negotiations Only Under Fire' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-warns-hamas-as-israel-strikes-gaza-amid-truce-collapse-negotiations-only-under-fire-4098633.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~ED.346~

Trump Signs Orders Scrapping Biden-Era Rules, Targets Appliance And Consumer Product Regulations

President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders repealing key Biden-era energy regulations. These include controversial standards imposed on gas water heaters, household appliances, commercial refrigerators, and walk-in freezers. Backed by Republican lawmakers, the move is framed as a victory for American households and small businesses. Trump stated the repeals will reduce unnecessary burdens, lower energy costs, and return decision-making power to consumers. The orders aim to undo what Trump called last-minute regulations under Biden that hurt everyday Americans and stifled economic freedom in the name of overregulation. #Trump2025 #TrumpOrders #BidenEraRepeal #EnergyRegulations #ApplianceStandards #GasWaterHeaters #FreeMarket #TrumpRepeals #HouseholdAppliances #RegulationRollback #TrumpExecutiveOrder #BidenRulesScrapped #WalkInCoolers #CommercialFreezers #EnergyFreedom #TrumpVsBiden #HomeownerRights #RegulatoryReform #TrumpWhiteHouse #TrumpPolicies Also Read Trump Reacts to Indian Missile Strikes: 'It’s a Shame,' Calls for Swift Resolution :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reacts-to-indian-missile-strikes-it-s-a-shame-calls-for-swift-resolution-4145511.html?ref=DMDesc Trump and Carney Face Off in Oval Office Over Trade War and Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-carney-faceoff-oval-office-trade-war-011-4145443.html?ref=DMDesc What Donald Trump’s 100% Tariff On Foreign Films Could Mean For Indian Entertainment Industry | Explained :: https://www.oneindia.com/business/what-donald-trump-s-100-tariff-on-foreign-films-could-mean-for-indian-entertainment-industry-expl-4144927.html?ref=DMDesc
