The organisation that put man on the moon was, like Monash University, officially formed 50 years ago.
The US Congress formally created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958, the same year Monash University was legally established by an Act of State Parliament in Victoria.
The US space program also started that year, with the launch satellite Explorer 1, which was the first spacecraft to transmit scientific data back to earth.
