11 October: US Congress authorises use of force in Iraq, NASA launches 1st spacecraft and more

SHARE:

On 11 October 2002, the US Congress gave approval to President George W Bush to use force against Iraq. The bill gave broad powers to the US President to defend his country’s national security against the “continuing threat” posed by Iraq and its efforts to develop chemical and biological weapons.

On this very day in 1958, the unmanned deep-space Pioneer 1 became the first spacecraft launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). From thereon, NASA embarked on an unprecedented space exploration programme. Though the Pioneer 1 never reached the Moon due to a technical malfunction, it did return crucial data on the near-Earth environment.

Here are some other events that mark 11 October as a historic day:

1942: Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan was born in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
