NASA's forerunner, the National Advisory Council on Aeronautics, was founded by President Wilson in order to "...supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight, with a view to their practical solution, and to determine the problems which should be experimentally attacked, and to discuss their solution and their application to practical questions" (Public Law 63-271). Although the headlines often focus on NASA's activity outside of the Earth's atmosphere, a lot of NASA's successes lie in its continual effort to develop safer aircraft, keeping a promise made to the American people almost a century ago.
