The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (Pub. L. 85-568) had eight objectives:
*The expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in space and the atmosphere;
*The improvement of the performance, usefulness, safety, speed, and efficiency of aeronautical and space vehicles;
*The development and operation of vehicles capable of carrying instruments, equipment, living organisms, and supplies through space;
*The establishment of long-range studies of the potential benefits to be gained from, the opportunities for, and the problems involved in the use of aeronautical and space activities for scientific and peaceful purposes;
*The preservation of the role of the U.S. as a leader in aeronautical and space science and technology and in the application thereof to the conduct of peaceful activities within and outside of the atmosphere;
*The making available to agencies directly concerned with national defenses of discoveries that have military value or significance, and the furnishing by such agencies, to the civilian agency established to direct and control nonmilitary aeronautical and space activities, of information as to discoveries which have value or significance to that agency;
*Cooperation by the U.S. with other nations and groups of nations in work done pursuant to this Act and in the peaceful application of the results thereof, and
*The most effective utilization of the scientific and engineering resources of the U.S., with close cooperation among all interested agencies of the U.S. in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort, facilities, and equipment.

Sunglasses have long been around in the early 1900s, the when it started to become more widespread, especially among movie stars. But NASA had to improve on the basic design to work in space which has direct sun light without the protection of the atmosphere.
NASA created the game Moon Base Alpha to engage and educate gamers about space exploration, engineering challenges, and the importance of teamwork in space missions. It was designed to spark interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
Short answer: It's not. There's nothing in the enumerated powers given to Congress in Article 1, Section 8 to allow Congress to fund scientific agencies, unless in some way the agency would be necessary and proper for the exercise of an enumerated power. Not sure for what enumerated power NASA would be necessary and proper.

The congress did create a national center for rocket and space research to coordinate research in rocket and space technology.
National Recovery Administration (I think)
yes
Congress is the lawmaker branch of the national government. The Supreme Court, the president and Congress all share the power to create laws.
National Governors Association
Congress
The Bank of the United States
Yes, however it must be approved by congress.
No, Yellowstone was created under the Ulysses S. Grant administration.
The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 created what was then known as the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). This was changed to the Federal Aviation Administration (still the FAA) in 1966 when it became a part of the US Department of Transportation (DOT). The FAA's predecessor, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) was established in 1940 by President Roosevelt, when he split the Civil Aeronautics Authority in two, to create the CAA and the CAB (Civil Aeronautics Board). The CAA was created in 1938 by the Civil Aeronautics Act. Prior to this, the Air Commerce Act of 1926 created an aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce. This was the first Federal Act that regulated aircraft and pilots in the United States and began regulatory oversight over those entities.
