TRAFFIC: It’s busy in town, especially when the ferry comes in and busy by the public beach. No delays inbound or outbound to the airports. Island beltway running smoothly. No bridge delays. Lots of bikers and hikers, though, so let’s be careful out there. |

On This Day The U.S. Congress passes legislation establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a civilian agency responsible for coordinating America’s activities in space, on July 29, 1958. NASA has since sponsored space expeditions, both human and mechanical, that have yielded vital information about the solar system and universe. It has also launched numerous earth-orbiting satellites that have been instrumental in everything from weather forecasting to navigation to global communications. |
