NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is responsible for the United States' civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Its primary roles include conducting scientific exploration of space, developing new technologies for space travel, and advancing our understanding of Earth and the universe. NASA also collaborates with international space agencies and private companies to foster innovation and expand human presence in space. Through missions like the Artemis program and the Mars rover explorations, NASA aims to inspire and engage the public in science and technology.

Yes, NASA's cool suit technology was adapted for use on Earth, such as in medical applications like regulating body temperature during surgeries or treating fever. While the basic design remained the same, adaptations were made to improve comfort and usability for medical professionals.
NASA's first major failure was the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999. The spacecraft was intended to study the Martian climate, but a navigation error caused it to burn up in the atmosphere. This incident highlighted the importance of proper communication and units conversion in space missions.

Due to limitation in budget, the NASA is going to quit manufacturing Space Shuttles and again start making ordinary rockets.
There were 2 astronauts on each Project Gemini mission.
Film media has played a significant role in boosting NASA's popularity by portraying astronauts as heroes and showcasing their adventures in space. Films such as "Apollo 13" and "First Man" have captivated audiences and generated interest in space exploration. This exposure has helped increase public support for NASA's missions and initiatives.
There were two men in each Gemini module(The constellation Gemini is the twins)
