Events That Changed The World
The Battle of Waterloo, Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous speech, 9/11 – there are some events in history that truly stand out as turning points. These changed politics, civil rights, countries and continents. They are the events that shaped our world. We explore these in detail here, from the inauguration of President George Washington in 1789 to the first atomic bomb – dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 causing unfathomable devastation – and beyond. Discover the events that led to World War I, the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the fight for women’s suffrage and the presidency of Abraham Lincoln, plus the lasting legacy of these iconic moments. Together they form a turbulent story that is harrowing, sobering and inspiring in equal measure.
History of NASA
On 29 July 1958 President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed into US law a federal statute that would change the universe forever. The National Aeronautics and Space Act led to the creation of a civilian space agency, one that was not controlled by generals, intelligence officials or businessmen, but by scientists. Its aim was not war, but peace. NASA was born. In the almost 62 years since its inception NASA has been responsible for some of the most important advances humankind has ever made. It has left the footprints of astronauts on our Moon and sent spacecraft beyond the limits of our Solar System. Its Mars rovers search for life on the plains of the Red Planet while Hubble looks back through time and space towards the beginning of the universe.
