the way NASA was born was all because of the Russians. if it wasent for them space travel would probablr still be a dream.

it all started when the Russians launched a satiltite called spunkick (i think that's how you spell it?) after that the USA becane the program NASA. but when the Russians put the first man in space that is what got NASA into humman space flight. NASA did not open their doors until october 1st, 1958. and the first American in space was alen sheperd. after his 15 minutes in space John f. Kennedy set a goal for NASA to send a man to the surface of the moon and return him safly back to earth. we suseded his goal on July 20th, 1969.
