NASA

Sorry to say but NASA is not a planet! NASA is an organization that studies the planets!

NASA's annual budget for space missions varies but is typically around $22-25 billion. This budget covers a wide range of activities such as scientific research, exploration missions, technology development, and operations of the International Space Station.

Well the Kennedy Center is a very formal place, so you should take the time to wear something nice. It doesn't have to be super formal, just wear something that is nice and appropriate. For guys wear polo shirt with khaki's, and make sure your wearing belt! For girls a nice skirt of dress would do. If its during the winter wear a nice button down shirt or a nice top with khaki's. Jeans are ok, just make sure not wear sneaker's. Make sure your jeans aren't faded or ripped or have anny inapprorpiate wording on it. Boots would go with jeans, and fro guys dress shoes. Just make sure your outfit looks nice and classy. Same thing would go with adults. Also make sure your hair is nice and that your well groomed.

Jennifer Heldmann, NASA Planetary Scientist, was born in 1974.

President Kennedy did not start NASA. President Eisenhower signed the NASA act in July 1958. The United States of America was caught in a space race with the Soviets not long after the end of WWII. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics or NACA was in charge of aeronautical research. Anything space related was gouverned by the Army and the Air Force,creating tension among the two agencies. For this reason President Eisenhower wanted a civil space program.

From 1958 to 2011 (53 years) it amounts to $526.18 billion. This amount is less than what is spent on defense by America in a single year.

Per year, it costs $16.143 billion. This is roughly $132 per taxpayer per year.

Crewed space exploration allows for human presence and decision-making, which can adapt to unexpected situations and conduct more complex tasks. However, crewed missions are more expensive, risky, and require life support systems. Space probes are less costly, versatile, and can explore distant and harsh environments without risking human lives, but they lack real-time decision-making and human intuition.

NASA is responsible for the nation's public space program. NASA has led U.S. efforts for space exploration ever since, resulting in the Apollo missions to the Moon, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently NASA is supporting the International Space Station and developing new Ares I and V launch vehicles. (Wikipedia)

After successfully landing on the Moon, Apollo 11's crew -- Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins -- launched the lunar module back into space to rendezvous with the command module. They then transferred back into the command module for the journey back to Earth. The command module re-entered Earth's atmosphere, landed in the Pacific Ocean, and the crew was safely recovered by the U.S. Navy.

NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958. This act was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and formally created NASA as the United States' civilian space agency.

Nasa accepted its first female candidate on June 16th, 1963.

Yes, just because a person leaves Earth, does not mean they stop ageing.

No one... the correct setence is: That's one small step for man, One giant leap for mankind.

Annie J. Easley was a computer scientist and mathematician who worked for NASA. She made significant contributions to the development of software for rocket propulsion systems and energy-conversion systems, helping to advance the field of aerospace engineering. Easley also advocated for diversity in STEM fields and encouraged young people, especially women and minorities, to pursue careers in science and technology.

Some of NASA's most public, major accomplishments include: The United States' first satellite, "Explorer 1," the International Space Station (where astronauts can live temporarily,) Apollo 11 (first man on the moon,) the invention of the reusable space shuttle, the Hubble Telescope, the Chandra X-ray, and the Mars Rovers.

NASA has plans to launch 5 space Huttles in 2010, after that they will rely only on the Russian Soyuz rocket. Here is a list of the future mission (Please note that date are subject to chage).

STS-130; Febuary 4th

STS-131; March 18th

STS-132; May 14th

STS-134; July 29th

STS-133; September 16th

As a spacecraft enters the atmosphere, it will travel at a tremendously high speed. The friction from the air rubbing against the spacecraft causes lots of heat. To protect against this heat, spacecraft use heat shields. Most spacecraft use blunt, spherical, or conic heat shields which help slow the vehicle down, and dissipate the heat in the surrounding air. These heat shields are also usually made out of abalative material. Abalative materials sublimate into gas at high temperature. As a result, they absorb thermal energy but erode away as the vehicle enters the atmosphere. However modern spacecraft are being developed to have re-usable heat shields. The Space Shuttle, in particular, uses a series of thermal insulating tiles that absorb and radiate heat while preventing conduction to the shuttle's aluminum skin. These tiles can be re-used many times.

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, was established on July 29, 1958. It was created in response to the Soviet Union's successful launch of the satellite Sputnik, marking the beginning of the space race between the United States and the USSR.

NASA was formed in 1958 in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, which sparked the space race between the two nations. Its creation was part of the United States' efforts to advance its space exploration capabilities and technology.

Yes, NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is a United States government agency responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.

The official answer... way to long!

If you really want a mathematical answer lets give it a try...

speed of light is 3*10^8 m/s

60 secondes per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hour per day and 365 days per year:

60*60*24*365 = 31 536 000 secondes/year.

300 000 km/s * 31 536 000 s/year = 9 460 800 000 000 km/year ---> this is the distance light travels in one year.

The Shuttle travels at an approximate speed of 28 000 km/h

28 000 km/h * 24 * 365 = 245 280 000 km/year

100 000 light years * 9 460 800 000 000 km = 946 080 000 000 000 000 km

946 080 000 000 000 000 / 245 280 000 = 3 857 142 857 years

I hope there is an inflight movie!

The first man in outer space was Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet cosmonaut who orbited Earth on April 12, 1961. The first woman in outer space was Valentina Tereshkova, also a Soviet cosmonaut, who orbited Earth on June 16, 1963.

NASA has expanded our understanding of the universe, developed innovative technologies that have benefited society (like scratch-resistant lenses and memory foam), and inspired generations through their space exploration missions. NASA's work has also paved the way for international collaborations in science and technology.

NASA has NOT ended and likely never will 'end' since its purpose is space exploration and planetary science studies.

No, NASA is not considered dumb. NASA is a well-respected organization that has been instrumental in space exploration and scientific research. Their work has led to numerous discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the universe.
