And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:
Question: Which US President created the space program?
Answer: President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Class: Dahlke
Note: President Dwight D. Eisenhower is credited with launching the U.S. space program. He responded to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik by establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). When President John F. Kennedy took office, he significantly expanded NASA and set the ambitious goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!
