From the US tax payer via the NASA budget.
Flordia. Juan ponce deleon came to this state looking for the fountain of youth wich never excisted. It also is the 4th largest population in the Us. space shuttles launch from this state all the time.
It left from Southampton, England, and was travelling to New York City, US.
i believe that Newton's laws assisted the space program in building rockets, space stations and launch/landing pads. this is because newton discovered gravity and otherwise no-one would be able to understand how an apple falls from a tree or the planets stay in orbit hope this helps :-)
Within our own solar system, the sun, Sol, has the greatest effect on the rest of the system. Outside of our system, objects with great effect on us include the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, other galaxies, the singularity trace where the Big Bang first occurred, roughly the "Center of the Universe," and space itself.
Before and during the very first part of a launch, missions are controlled from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but as the shuttle or other vehicle clears the launch tower, control passes to Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas.
Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida, is the primary launch point for NASA space missions. On the west coast, Vandenberg Air Force Base (near Lompoc, California) is also used for the launch of satellites, including those for the US military.
In 1973.
USSR
No. The USSR was the first to launch any kind of space craft with the launch of "Sputnik 1" in 1957. The US was the first to send a man to the moon in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission
31 January 1961
Basically the Successful Launch of Sputnik I by then USSR started the Space race as US Space programme till then was not integrated and successful launch of SputnikI triggred 1)formation of NASA 2)passing of Space act by US congress 3)allocation of funds for the space projects.
Cape Canaveral, Florida.
SpaceX
Space Exploration did not begin in the US. The first country to successfully launch a human into outer space was the Soviet Union.
That capability indicate that the US was well behind in the Space Race.
Huntsville Alabama is the home of Redstone Arsenal (the US Army missile and rocket center), NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and the US Space and Rocket Center.
