ON THIS DAY: In 1958, NASA was established by President Eisenhower to handle the space policy of the U.S. Some of the geezer pilots still around from those good old days get back in the saddle in last year's SPACE COWBOYS, starring Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Tommy Lee Jones, and Donald Sutherland as former test pilots who shuffle back to Cape Canaveral for the mission to low Earth orbit they missed out on in their -- and NASA's -- youth.
