Sunday is National Meatball Day! 🍝

In 1975, the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration logo you know & love was nicknamed "the meatball." Learn more about this tasty insignia, including who designed it & what the elements mean, in this article celebrating the logo's history.

Bringing back memories of NASA's early successes, NASA's "meatball" logo dates back to 1959, when the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics became NASA.
