NASA

To explore space, the last frontier. Of course, nowadays we as a country don't care about national honor very much, so it won't matter to most if we aren't the ones to discover new planets, galaxies, and possibly even life forms or habitable planets.

in 1962 John Glenn rode Mercury six and lasted 5hrs

NASA is a government agency, specifically a civilian organization within the federal government of the United States. It is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.

NASA experienced several setbacks during the Apollo program, including the tragic Apollo 1 fire that resulted in the loss of three astronauts. However, they ultimately succeeded in landing astronauts on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.

NASA primarily uses rocket-grade kerosene, liquid hydrogen, and liquid oxygen as fuel for its spacecraft. These fuels are sourced from various suppliers and manufacturers, with stringent quality control measures in place to ensure their reliability and safety for space missions. NASA also uses other propellants and fuels for specific missions and spacecraft, depending on their requirements.

It is a little burnt but the launch pad is designed to take extreme heat and pressure created by the space shuttle. If it wasn't, they would have to make a new launch pad every launch and those things are worth a pretty penny...

This question was posted on April 6, 2011. Here it is October of 2012, and I'm still waiting for

the so-called "following" list of multiple choices to appear. If this keeps up, the near future of

manned space exploration will be here before I can start selecting the right answer from it.

The CD was recovered from the Space Shuttle Columbia wreckage after the tragic accident in 2003. It was given to Rick Husband's wife and family as a token of remembrance and tribute to the fallen astronauts.

After returning from their Apollo missions, astronauts were not deported. They underwent debriefing and quarantine procedures to ensure they were not carrying any harmful pathogens. They were then allowed to return to their homes and families.

No, space probes are unmanned spacecraft designed to carry out scientific missions without human crew on board. Human spaceflight missions are carried out using spacecraft specifically designed to support and protect human life in space.

Wernher von Braun is credited as the lead scientist for the American space program and was instrumental in the development of the Saturn V rocket, which was used for the Apollo missions to the Moon. He played a significant role in shaping NASA's early space missions.

NASA has had both successes and failures in its history. While it has achieved significant milestones in space exploration, such as the Moon landings and the Mars rovers, there have also been setbacks and tragedies like the Space Shuttle Challenger and Columbia disasters. Overall, NASA has made valuable contributions to our understanding of space and continues to push boundaries in scientific research and exploration.

Only 28-years-old at the time of his journey ,Mark Shuttleworth had spent seven months of formal training for the mission at Star City in Russia and one week in Houston at the NASA Johnson Space Centre.

your question doesnt even make any sense, do you mean, like if you were standing right next to it???? Well if you were you would probably die

NASA is not a publicly traded company, so its stock cannot be bought or sold. It is a government agency that focuses on space exploration and aeronautics research. If you are interested in investing in space exploration, you may want to consider investing in companies that work with NASA or are involved in the space industry.

NASA built a total of five space shuttles: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were in operation from 1981 to 2011.

NASA retired its space shuttle program in 2011. They now rely on commercial partners like SpaceX to transport astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station. NASA is shifting its focus to developing new spacecraft and technologies for deep space exploration.

There is a huge and enormous category, really a veritable plethora, of things that

the astronauts of the joint Apollo-Soyuz mission did not do, whether because time

did not permit it or for some other of the myriad possible reasons. It's not possible

to list them exhaustively, and the following is only a poor selection of the vast list ...

one might even characterize it as nothing more than a half-vast list:

-- play badminton

-- read a shelf of novels

-- practice on their violins

-- make wine

-- have sex

-- watch Buster Keaton movies together

-- ride their bicycles

-- barbeque ribs

-- organize foot races

-- mud wrestling

-- write letters to their families

-- swim or sun-bathe

The Kepler Mission is important because it has discovered thousands of exoplanets, significantly expanding our knowledge of planets beyond our solar system. This has helped us better understand the prevalence and diversity of other planets, and has provided valuable data for studying planet formation and the potential for life elsewhere in the universe.

The NASA programs is a programs used to make scientific discoveries about space and about all the galaxies for future and present references. The NASA space program was thought of and created by President Eisenhower because he thought that the U.S. needed a space program to create satellites after Russia created and launched the first human-made satellite

There have been 6 orbiters.

Enterprise was first. Never flew in space. Was built for Approach and Landing tests (ALT).

Then came Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Discovery. Endeavour is the baby of the fleet and was built to replace Challenger.

Columbia and Challenger were destroyed in accidents. Enterprise is in a museum.

Up until today, they used the Shuttle. Since this was the last shuttle mission, they will need to use the Soyuz space capsules until NASA comes up with a replacement vehicle, which is not even on the drawing board.

The smoke that comes out of the bottom of a rocket is its "exhaust", much like the smoke and steam you see from a car's exhaust pipe on a cold day. But most of it you can't see : a huge volume of expanding hot gases. When rocket fuel "burns" (whether it is liquid hydrogen, kerosene, or solid propellant), it combines with oxygen to release incredible amounts of heat energy. The released gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other compounds) are rapidly heated and violently expand, and the only way out is through the nozzles at the base of the rocket. This thunderous rush of gases zooms out of the rocket, and according to Newton's law of action and reaction, the rocket is pushed in the other direction, which is ideally "up."

It takes a lot of energy to lift a heavy rocket against gravity, and accelerate it to the high speed (40000 km/hr, or 25000 mph) that it needs to reach orbit. Once in space, however, it will continue to move without much help as it circles the Earth.

The answer is National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The NASA space shuttles launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Specifically, they used Launch Complex 39, which consisted of two launch pads: Pad 39A and Pad 39B.
