NASA did not send out Laika, a Soviet space dog, on a spacecraft that wouldn't return to Earth. The mission was carried out by the Soviet space program in 1957, not NASA. Unfortunately, Laika was never intended to return as the technology to safely bring spacecraft back from orbit was not developed at that time.
Russian astronauts return to earth using space capsules.The space capsules have a parachute on it like the early NASA capsules.
The space shuttle Enterprise never flew in space. It served as an atmosphere-only test vehicle for NASA in the late 1970s.
There were a total of six space shuttles in NASA's Space Shuttle program: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour, and Enterprise (which was a prototype and never flew into space).
The first space shuttle built for NASA was named "Enterprise." It was used for approach and landing tests in the atmosphere, but it never flew in space.
Never
NASA has NOT ended and likely never will 'end' since its purpose is space exploration and planetary science studies.
Yes if a rocket fell into a black hole it will never reaturn to Earth but Sometimes NASA sends rockets unmanned ones up into space forever or when ever they want to bring it back to Earth to take take pictures of Galaxies,Planets and stars
Curt Michel, an astrophysicist, trained with NASA to be an astronaut (as well as other training), though he never flew in space.
NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.From the lighter side: Never A Straight Answer.so thats what is the same about NASA and Obama XD
After his historic Apollo 11 mission in 1969, Neil Armstrong did not return to the moon because NASA's focus shifted towards other space exploration objectives, such as building the International Space Station and sending missions to Mars. Armstrong also transitioned into other roles within NASA and the aerospace industry after retiring as an astronaut.
No, the NASA space shuttle did not land on the moon. The space shuttles were designed for low Earth orbit missions and were not capable of making the journey to the moon. The Apollo missions were responsible for landing astronauts on the moon.
