The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) logo has three main official designs, although the one with stylized red curved text (the "worm") has been retired from official use since 1992. The three logos include the NASA insignia (also known as the "meatball"), the NASA logotype (also known as the "worm"), and the NASA seal.
The NASA seal was approved by President Eisenhower in 1959, and slightly modified by John F. Kennedy in 1961.
The NASA logo dates from 1959, when the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) metamorphosed into an agency that would advance both astronautics and aeronautics — the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
After a NASA Lewis Research Center illustrator's design was chosen for the new agency's official seal, the executive secretary of NASA asked James Modarelli, the head of Reports Division at Lewis Research Center, to design a logo that could be used for less formal purposes. Modarelli simplified the seal, leaving only the white stars and orbital path on a round field of blue with a red vector. Then he added white N-A-S-A lettering.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States Federal Government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958 with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. The National Aeronautics and Space Act was passed on July 29, 1958, disestablishing NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency became operational on October 1, 1958.
Since that time, most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program (LSP) which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for unmanned NASA launches.
NASA is a Swedish synthpop band fronted by Patrik Henzel and Martin Thors. They debuted in 1983 with a song for a Swedish film. In 1985 they had a Swedish top ten hit "Paula". In the 1980s, the band had little success outside of Sweden. A planned US album was recorded, but then shelved by Columbia Records. They continued to have numerous hit singles in their home country of Sweden. They were basically defunct for most of the 1990s, but had a resurgence with the album "Remembering the Future" in 1999.

Somebody told me that you had changed,
Since the day my life has become estranged.
Well that’s ok, you just put on that face,
But in your heart I know of another place.
So here we are, now we’re just worlds apart,
But were we any closer at the start?
Something so alone, you want somebody,
But you’re still on your own.
(Oh baby) Now that the feeling’s gone,
I believe that I’ve done no wrong.
‘Cuz I’ve tried hard to get you back baby,
But you just wouldn’t cut me no slack.
Now that it’s gone, now that we’ve walked away,
Now that we’ve both started a brand new day.
I’m lookin’ back - I’m lookin’ at your face,
I’m lookin’ and all I see is empty space.
So here we are, now we’re just worlds apart,
But were we any closer at the start?
Something so alone, you want somebody,
But you’re still on your own.
Oh baby, now that the feeling’s gone,
I believe that I’ve done no wrong.
‘Cuz I’ve tried hard to get you back baby,
But you just wouldn’t cut me no slack.
But I gotsta’ have ya,
Now that I know the cost baby.
Something’s gonna change my mind,
But I don’t have the luxury of time no more.
Oh, no more time baby...

Oh no…
Just wouldn’t cut me no slack now…
Now that the feeling’s gone…
Oh no more time baby…
