Why do you have NASA?
NASA exists as an overseeing civilian administrative agency for the United States' Manned Flight, Earth Orbital Satellite and Deep Space Probe programs. In addition, it is res…ponsible for overseeing the development of civilian and military aerospace research and development. Contrary to public perception, NASA is actually a very small agency, and by comparison with other government agencies, does not have a large staff of federal employees. The bulk of NASA operations at its field centers (e.g., Goddard, Marshall, Langley, JPL, Johnson, etc.) are actually staffed by private contractor employees whose companies are under contract to NASA. This is why it's ridiculous when it's said that the Space Program should be privatized - it essentially already is. Fully 90% of NASA's operations are run by contractors or government employees from other agencies. As an example, though I was assigned to NASA Manned Flight and many other programs, I was not an actual NASA employee; I was a Department of Defense QA Engineer assigned to NASA. NASA also uses employees from the military as well as many other agencies. NASA's primary function is to facilitate policy that governs the U.S. Space Program, and interface with other countries' Space Agencies (e.g. ESA) that we have joint space operations with. It also funnels technology developed for the Space Program back into the private sector for use as consumer devices. Every year NASA publishes a book with all the technology developed for use in Space, and anyone can take that technology and bring it to the consumer market. Examples over the years of Space technology that's found its way to the masses are Lithium Ion Batteries (HST/ISS Pistol Grip Tool), SSD Drives (developed from the Hubble Telescope Solid State Recorder), and Tempurpedic mattresses (material designed for Astronaut crew seats).

Why is NASA important?
In addition to providing information about nearby space and planets, NASA studies the way in which the Earth has developed, and how it could change in the distant future. Thes…e can help us understand how life on Earth came about and what can be done to protect and preserve it.Addtionally, many NASA instruments and much of their research has been used for practical purposes here on Earth: GPS locators, new microchips, thermal imaging, advanced materials, and other bio-medical applications.

How do you join NASA?
NASA is actually a pretty small government agency compared to others, but in general employees are just like any other Federal employee. Most have degrees in either Aerospace,… Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Cryogenics, Thermal Engineering, or many other specialties that are germane to the Space Program itself. You apply to NASA just like any government job, but their hiring practices are pretty restricted, and you need a minimum 4-year technical or science degree. The Astronaut and Mission Specialist programs are different, as they seek candidates from specialized areas and with certain qualifications. For example, Astronauts are qualified military officers (usually recruited from the flight testing ranks), and Mission Specialists are Doctors in their respective fields. NASA employees are still primarily administrators though - operation of NASA Centers and flight operations, as well as design, manufacturing, QA and testing of spacecraft are performed by private contractors, with other Federal employees responsible for local program oversight. As an example, though a DoD QA Engineer, I was assigned exclusively to NASA Manned Flight and Satellite programs for 9 years.

What did NASA do for America?
I'm no expert but, i am doing a report on the Apollo program. I believe N.A.S.A (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) did many thing for us. Such as, made us the fir…st Americans into space, you wouldn't be using a computer had N.A.S.A not been created, Velcro wouldn't have been made, it sole purpose was to help the astronauts so instead on messing with buttons, they could use velcro. If you want to know more there is this amazing thing called Google, or Bing. How about you do some research. :) (MORE)
