"President Dwight D. Eisenhower established NASA in 1958[9] with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science."
As I said, it has nothing to do with the military. And it was never intended to have anything to do with the military from the get-go. That they got some people from the Air Force means absolutely nothing when the mission of the agency has absolutely nothing to do with the military. And as I pointed out, even if, for some reason, it DID have something to do with the Air Force, the Air Force itself is not authorized by the constitution.
