Today in 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the legislation that created NASA.
Happy Birthday, NASA. You guys are the epitome of Nerd Love, even at 50.

About Me
- Janiece
- I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I care about social justice, libraries, science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I knit for charity. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.

The resident graphic artist has done a really cool tribute
That is cool. Thanks!
Isn't it cool? I'm sure that NASA is very appreciative of your birthday wishes.
Nerd Love indeed! You don't know the half of it, Janiece. I've been looking over documents regarding a project that, while I can't tell you the content of them, fill me with Nerd Happiness. Yay!
Thank you, President Eisenhower!
