NASA

Before humans actually went into space, one of the prevailing theories of the perils of space flight was that humans might not be able to survive long periods of weightlessness. For several years, there had been a serious debate among scientists about the effects of prolonged weightlessness. American and Russian scientists utilized animals - mainly monkeys, chimps and dogs - in order to test each country's ability to launch a living organism into space and bring it back alive and unharmed.

Qualifications to join NASA vary depending on the specific position, but generally require a relevant degree in a STEM field (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) such as physics, engineering, or computer science. Additional requirements may include relevant work experience, specific skills or certifications, and the ability to pass a background check and physical examination.

Homer Hickam joined NASA in 1981 as an aerospace engineer, working in the Space Shuttle Program. He was part of the team that supported the development of the Space Shuttle's solid rocket boosters.

No, there is overwhelming evidence, including moon rocks brought back during the Apollo missions, that confirm NASA's successful missions to the moon. Multiple countries and independent organizations have also tracked and verified the Apollo missions.

Approximately $17.3 billion.

Some everyday technologies provided by NASA research include memory foam (originally developed for spacecraft seats), scratch-resistant lenses used in eyeglasses and cameras, and water purification systems that improve water quality for both astronauts and people on Earth. Additionally, NASA's research in materials science has contributed to advancements in sports equipment, such as golf clubs and tennis rackets.

Most NASA programs require participants to be at least 18 years old. However, there are some educational programs and internships available for high school students as well.

Astronauts use wipes, liquid soap, and rinseless shampoo to stay clean in space. They also have a hygiene area with a small sink and a vacuum system to remove water and soap after washing. Additionally, they change into fresh clothes regularly and use ventilation systems to circulate and filter the air.

Six air-worthy shuttles have been built.
The first orbiter, Enterprise, was not built for space flight, and was used only for testing purposes.
Five space-worthy orbiters were built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor.
Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after launch in 1986, and Endeavour was built as a replacement.
Columbia broke apart during re-entry in 2003.

Only Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor are operational today.

NASA was created in response to the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, in 1957. The United States established NASA in 1958 to lead the nation's civilian space program and ensure American leadership in space exploration and research.

NASA has successfully sent astronauts to the moon six times between 1969 and 1972 as part of the Apollo program. These manned missions landed a total of 12 astronauts on the lunar surface.

None. The space shuttle came after the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo projects (Apollo got us to the moon.) The space shuttle was intended to be a freighter of sorts - ferrying materials, satellites and people from Earth's surface to low earth orbit (LEO) and possibly to one or more space stations in geosynchronous orbit. The shuttle was never intended for long distance flights to the moon or further**. They are to be retired next year (2010.)

The first space shuttle launch was in 1981, 12 years after the first moon landing in 1969 and 9 years after the last manned trip to the moon. {If you use the official term for a moon landing, both manned and unmanned, then the Soviet Union landed an unmanned vehicle on the moon in 1966, 15 years before the first space shuttle launch.)

** Half of the shuttle (the black underbelly) is landing/shield tiles that burn off as it lands: if you were making a ship for space (and not our atmosphere) you wouldn't need these tiles, you'd need shielding but not the tiles.

Probably around 18.000.00 base workers. I have no idea of how many contract workers they employ but that number must be fairly high given the world wide research that NASA in involved in.

Yes, the Parker Solar Probe was launched August 12, 2018.

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 first artificial satellite, Sputnik, in 1957.

The salary range for a NASA physicist can vary depending on experience and education level. On average, a NASA physicist can earn between $60,000 to $150,000 per year.

NASA rockets can reach speeds of up to 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour) during launch. These rockets are designed to reach escape velocity, the speed needed to break free from Earth's gravitational pull and travel into space.

NASA has not conducted a space mission to Venus since the early 1990s. The Magellan spacecraft, which mapped Venus's surface using radar, was the last NASA mission to Venus, ending its mission in 1994. NASA's focus has since shifted toward other destinations such as Mars, the Moon, and outer planets.

Yes, to some extent it did. When the Russians launched Sputnik it was seen as a military threat and the US needed to respond. Due to this NASA was created and the space race was on. The idea of "containment" of the Soviet communist threat was the primary foreign policy of the US since the end of WWII and this set the policy for most things in defense and science. The by product of this are many of the inventions that we now use daily. A good example of this is the computer. Without the development of space research the computer may have been slower to develop.

There is no fear of loss of human life and less resources are needed to keep a robot running than to sustain a life support system.

Astronauts are more capable than robots and more resourceful should something go wrong.

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is a federal government agency in the United States. It was established in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower to conduct civilian space activities. While NASA is funded by the government, it operates as a separate entity within the federal government.

'NASA' is the FLA used to refer to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the US government agency tasked with planning, operating, and managing the US' program of space science and exploration.

Komunisticka strana Ceskoslovenska. It is a communist and political party in the Czech and Slavic regions. It existed in 1921-1992. In 1993, it became a criminal organization.

Kennedy Space Center

No, NASA did not invent GPS. GPS technology was developed by the United States Department of Defense and became fully operational in 1995. NASA has used GPS technology in its missions for navigation and tracking purposes.

NASA launches from various locations, including Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, and Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The location of the launch depends on the specific mission and trajectory required.
