NASA

The official answer is that it was chosen because of the availability of water transport and an all-weather airport, proximity to a major telecommunications network, availability of established industrial workers and contractor support, an available supply of water, a mild climate permitting year-round outdoor work and a culturally attractive community. Houston was initially included as a candidate location because of the proximity to the 4,700-acre (19 km2) United States Army San Jacinto Ordnance Depot located on the Houston Ship Channel, and to regional universities.

Some say it was because Texan Lyndon Baines Johnson was Vice President at the time and oversaw the space program.

Almost everything they can. Everything from simple compounds to reminisce of water. Mostly just looking for organic molecules. That is, molecules that have carbon in them. Sorry, no little green men.

The first 3 manned NASA missions were part of the Mercury program. The first two flights were suborbital flights (they did not go into orbit) and the astronaunts (Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom) were launched on Redstone rockets. The third flight was an orbital flight, and John Glenn was launched on an Atlas rocket. All three flights carried the astronauts in the Mercury capsule.

The flights were May 5 1961, July 21 1961, and Feb 20 1962 respectively.

The NASA space probe Pathfinder landed on Mars in July 1997.

voyager I is one

voyager II is another one

There are 14 NASA centers. The three primary centers associated with manned space flight are Johnson Space Center near Houston, Texas, responsible for the making the spacecrafts (Apollo, Shuttle, etc.) and the astronauts (selecting, training, assigning to missions), Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, responsible for making the launching rockets, Saturn V, etc. and Kennedy Space Center in Florida, responsible for the launch facilities and launching the missions.

NASA is currently working on various missions, including exploring Mars with the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter, as well as planning for future crewed missions to the Moon through the Artemis program. Additionally, NASA is conducting research on climate change, studying Earth's atmosphere and oceans, and developing advanced technologies for space exploration.

NASA has had several notable disasters, including the Challenger Shuttle disaster in 1986 and the Columbia Shuttle disaster in 2003, which resulted in the loss of 14 astronauts. These incidents have led to significant changes in safety protocols and procedures within the organization.

As a test pilot Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier in level flight. He did this in the X-1 experimental aircraft.

He had nothing directly to do with the NASA space program.

The message is that it's really cold there. As the moon has no atmosphere, there is no atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure has a pronounced effect on the boiling point of water. If the water does exist on the moon and it does lie on the surface in a "no-pressure" situation, it would have to be very cold to remain there under the circumstances.

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

NASA has experienced three disasters resulting in the deaths of seventeen astronauts.

* The launch pad fire of Apollo 1 * The Challenger that exploded during launch * The Columbia that tore apart during return to earth

NASA currently uses a variety of spacecraft, including the Orion spacecraft for crewed missions, the SpaceX Dragon for cargo resupply to the ISS, the Perseverance rover on Mars, and the Hubble Space Telescope for astronomical observations.

NASA does not have traditional control towers like airports do. NASA's mission control center is located at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This is where they monitor space missions and communicate with astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

the NASA headquerters are all over the US. theres one in Florida, Texas, California, ect. the ne in Texas is houton is mission controll and where they train the astronauts, the one in Florida is where they launch the rockets and do some traing there, the one in Califronia; i have no clue what happens there. hopes that helps.

The NASA space station refers to the International Space Station (ISS), which orbits the Earth. It does not have a fixed location. The ISS travels at an average altitude of approximately 420 kilometers (260 miles) above Earth's surface, completing an orbit roughly every 90 minutes.

The Hubble Space Telescope is not a secret weapon of America; it is a scientific observatory used for astronomical research. Operated by NASA in collaboration with the European Space Agency, the telescope has greatly expanded our understanding of the universe.

NASA has conducted numerous space explorations, including sending astronauts to the Moon during the Apollo missions, exploring Mars with rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance, and studying outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn with missions like Juno and Cassini. NASA also manages the International Space Station and has launched telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope to study the universe.

In 1990, NASA used the Space Shuttle Discovery to launch various missions, including deploying the Hubble Space Telescope and conducting scientific research experiments. Discovery completed a total of 39 missions during its operational lifespan.

NASA began planning the moon landing as early as 1961, when President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of landing astronauts on the moon and returning them safely to Earth before the end of the decade. The actual Apollo program, which included the moon landing missions, officially began in 1963. The first successful manned moon landing took place in 1969 with the Apollo 11 mission.

NASA uses computers in many different ways. NASA uses computers to calculate spacecraft trajectories, figuring out where to aim a spacecraft so it will reach a particular point or orbit in space at a particular time. NASA uses computers to track spacecraft after launch, calculating how to keep them on course with minimum fuel use. This involves a compromise between waiting as long as possible to make a correction (so the actual course is known better) and correcting as soon as possible (to use less fuel for a given correction). NASA uses computers on board the spacecraft themselves to control guidance systems, propulsion systems, experiments and everything else. NASA uses computers to analyze data sent back from space missions. NASA uses computers to keep track of the thousands of objects that orbit the earth today. NASA uses computers for every administrative purpose that any other large organization would use them for, such as budgeting, personnel, word processing, e-mail, its Web site, etc., etc. It might make more sense to ask "what does NASA not use computers for?" It would be a shorter list!

Yes, I do. However memorabilia is getting very difficult to find these days, although occasionally items crop up on eBay. One has to be very careful, though, especially when you collect autographs of astronauts. A genuine Armstrong autograph can demand over US$1000 or UK£700, and is relatively easy to fake to an untrained eye. As an example I have Jim Lovell's (Apollo 13) autograph on his book 'Lost Moon' as a first edition first print mint condition copy - which is far more providential than a slip of paper with a scribblle on it. Original slides of the first moon landing are still relatively low in value, but, as material gets harder to find they are bound to increase in value over the years. If you are thinking of collecting memorabilia, make sure that you use proper dealers and that providence is obtained. Ebay canbe a good source, but you really need to know exactly what you are looking for in order to distinguish between genuine articles and fakes sold by unscrupulous people trying to make a fast buck.

NASA employs people from various nationalities, but the majority of its workforce is composed of American citizens. However, NASA also collaborates with international partners and hires individuals from around the world, resulting in a diverse and multicultural workforce.
