Prior to the moon landing the United States market and technology was nowhere near what it is today. Since we set foot on the moon the economy has spurred and changed our lives in many ways. 1 Technology has progressed greatly and we use a lot of things in our daily lives that NASA has invented. We are surrounded every day by things developed from space exploration. Advances in medical procedures and even insulation that keeps our homes warm are examples of investments that have been made to improve the quality of our lives. 2 Not only has reaching the moon made amazing breakthroughs in technology but it has also transformed our space communications and deep space navigation into something that no other country has been capable of. The contributions of research and latest technology have enabled NASA to look further into cutting-edge missions. 3 Although the space shuttle program was shut down in 2011 NASA has still sent and received information from space that has been eye opening to approaching aeronautic travel. Rover Prototype's are exploring in Greenland and spacecrafts will visit asteroids that have not been analyzed yet. The International Space Station just celebrated its 10th anniversary of human occupation. Since the first expedition it has been visited by 204 different individuals. Due to the help of the space station there has been a total of 162 spacewalkers. 4 Space explorations are expensive and does cause controversy about continuing the research but it has benefited people in numerous ways. We owe many modern inventions that we take for granted to NASA. Distinct improvements in medicine have been from NASA research. Things like laser technology that created laser eye surgery, smoke detectors that save lives and reduce injuries, and memory foam that is found in mattresses can all be credited to the awesome study that NASA has done. The exploration may be a waste of money to some people, but it can be argued with the products that were developed in the mean time. 5 Scientists from NASA have accumulated more than 6,300 technologies that have routinely become a part of the day-to-day living. There are several things that NASA has done to make our lives more sufficient but the most important are electronics like CAT scanner which detects cancer. The ear thermometer that sends back a temperature in a matter of seconds, invisible braces that straighten teeth in a less embarrassing way thanks to ceramic brackets made from spacecraft materials. Satellite Television which is probably the most common along with the Speedo swimsuit that is bought by a number of professionals have all been created from NASA's exploration and studies. NASA was first started on July 29th 1958 making it fifty-five years old. NASA has also had 136 missions. They have explored Earth, Human Spaceflight, the Solar System, the Universe and Beyond. 6 Since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon in 1969 our world has changed abundant ways. Things that are done every day, NASA can be accounted for.
no, NASA is a big part of the usa, if it didnt exsit, russia would own the world
when did it open
NASA technology was instrumental in developing the microchip, which powers every computer in the world. When someone gets into a car accident, they are hooked up to monitors that sends the information back to the hospital so the doctors and staff can be better prepared to work on the patient. That technology came from NASA. NASA was also instrumental in developing fireproofing materials and coatings for clothes. NASA developed freeze-dried foods which are used by hikers and campers world wide.
it was the first and greatest space company to send people into space.
As of January 5, 2009, the NASA mission statement is "To explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can." However, July 2010 NASA Administrator Charles Bolden stated that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
No Nasa is smart they will know if something has changed
NASA World Wind was created in 2004.
Most of the NASA planets fall in the world, although a few of them haven't, whereas relatively few non-NASA planets fall in the world.
yes, nasa knows but they arent telling! love nasa
no, NASA is a big part of the usa, if it didnt exsit, russia would own the world
NASA Says That The World Will Not End. There Is Actually No Scientific Proof That The World Is Gonna End. It's Only Rumers! Don't Belive Everything You Hear.
They say its not true
when did it open
No. Check it out on NASA for yourself.
I have gone to their Website (NASA dot GOV). They have nothing at all about the world ending in 2013. If someone claims that NASA said something, ask them what the link is to that page. Chances are good that it's not real.
No, NASA (and now the whole world) does not classify Pluto as a planet. It is classified as a dwarf planet.
