NASA

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.

NASA's primary mission control center is located at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. This facility is responsible for overseeing and coordinating all human spaceflight missions conducted by NASA.

NASA typically selects new astronauts every few years, depending on their needs and projected missions. The selection process involves rigorous evaluations of candidates' qualifications, skills, and experience. The frequency of astronaut selections may vary based on upcoming missions and priorities.

The NASA center in Texas is called the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, and the one in Florida is known as the Kennedy Space Center.

NASA first recruited astronauts in 1959 as part of the Mercury program, with the aim of selecting and training individuals to participate in human spaceflights. The original group of astronauts, known as the "Mercury Seven," were selected based on their experience as military test pilots.

NASA doesn't have the technology to put a man on the moon any more. After Nixon gutted Apollo, all the people doing those sorts of things moved on. It seems that we will not be going to the Moon in 2020 either... "No bucks, No Buck Rogers"! I am posting some interesting links about the Apollo landings, that explain a lot of things that people nowadays don't know about going to the Moon. Hope you enjoy them!

The year that the first cordless power tool was invented was 1961. While NASA comissioned the inventions of cordless power tools for use in the Gemini and Apollo programs, Black & Decker was responsible for the inventing.

It takes a rocket around 8-10 minutes to reach space once it has been launched, depending on the specific rocket and its trajectory. The boundary of space, known as the Kármán line, begins at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) above Earth's surface.

NASA's main headquarters is located in Washington D.C. The agency also has several other centers across the United States where control operations and various research activities are conducted.

Yes, NASA still uses weather balloons for atmospheric research and to collect data on temperature, humidity, and air pressure in the upper atmosphere. Weather balloons play a crucial role in gathering information that helps improve weather forecasting and understand atmospheric conditions.

The first space shuttle built for NASA was named "Enterprise." It was used for approach and landing tests in the atmosphere, but it never flew in space.

The question isn't very meaningful because rockets don't work like regular engines or motors.

A gasoline engine or electric motor produces a certain force (torque) at a certain speed (RPM). Multiplying torque by speed gives output power, which can be measured in horsepower or watts. A motor can produce more force at a lower speed, or less force at a higher speed while still producing the same power.

But rockets produce a force (thrust) that doesn't depend on speed. If you bolt a rocket to a test stand so it can't move, then it can't produce any power at all no matter how much propellant it burns or thrust it generates. Only when the rocket can move will it develop mechanical power. That power will increase with speed even when thrust remains constant.

But if we redefine the "power" of a rocket as the rate at which it burns fuel and produces heat, we can come up with a well-defined number. The F-1 engines on the first stage of the Saturn V burned RP-1 (Rocket Propellant 1), a specially refined form of kerosene, and the five engines burned it at a total rate of about 4 tonnes (4000 kg) every second. Burning RP-1 yields about 43 megajoules of energy per kilogram, so that's works out to a heat power of 564 gigawatts or 757 million horsepower.

By comparison, the average amount of electricity generated in the entire United States averaged 455 gigawatts during 2010. That's right, the Saturn V produced more power than the entire US electric grid (on average), but of course it only did it for a couple of minutes.

The Administrator of NASA is Bill Nelson, who oversees the agency's operations and goals. NASA is a federal agency under the Executive Branch of the United States government, reporting directly to the President of the United States.

It is not the action but the reaction force that makes a rocket lift up. The action force is the force released when the rocket fuel burns. This action force acts on the surface/ground and according to Newton's Third Law [For each and every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction], a reaction force acts towards the rocket hence giving it a lift.

NASA was established on July 29, 1958, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The NASA headquarters is located in Washington, D.C., while the Kennedy Space Center, the primary launch center for human spaceflight, is located in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

NASA is currently working on various missions, including the Artemis program to return humans to the Moon, the Mars Perseverance Rover mission to search for signs of ancient life on Mars, and the James Webb Space Telescope set to launch in 2021. NASA is also continuing to study Earth's climate, explore the outer planets, and support the International Space Station.

I don't know that they have invented any food, but they pioneered freeze drying it, as well as irradiating it, I think. The Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio has one of Neil Armstrong's unused meals, still in the packaging, and showing no sign of decay the last time I saw it.

Throughout the years, many scientific advances have been made in space. These advances have saved lives and made difficult tasks simpler. Adjustable smoke detectors, ultrasound scanners and firefighter breathing systems are just a few of the quite useful inventions using space technology. There are many benefits of these scientific advances. Adjustable smoke detectors benefit humans in many ways. They were invented by Skylab, the first American space station. The scientists at Skylab wanted to be notified if any harmful chemicals were loose in the building. They teamed up with Honeywell to create the first adjustable smoke detector. Smoke detectors save many lives each year. Homes with smoke detectors have a death rate of 40-50% less than homes unequipped. The homes with smoke detectors benefit greatly. The adjustable smoke detector is one of the most efficient scientific advances. The ultrasound scanner is one of the most important advances in modern technology. It was invented in 1961 by Ian Donald. An ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of the body. A microphone is passed over the patient's body. The sound waves reflect off of the organs and are picked up again by the microphone. The microphone is connected to a computer which turns the reflected sound into a picture. Ultrasounds can help detect kidney stones and tumours. By knowing about the presence of a tumour, doctors can remove it. The ultrasound scanner saves many lives. Firefighter breathing systems are another excellent example of an important scientific advance. In the 1970's, NASA began working to improve the breathing systems. They weighed about 60 lbs, and had hardly changed since the 1940's. The Johnson's space and flight center conducted a four year program to improve the breathing systems. The program involved technology from space suits used in space. The new system now weighs under 20 lbs, and is strapped onto the firefighter so that it applies pressure to the hips, and not the shoulders. The new breathing system rapidly spread across the country and reduced the amount of injuries caused by smoke and fumes drastically. The new breathing system has helped firefighters save many lives.

None. It was created by an act of congress.

There is no specific entrance exam for working at NASA. Job requirements vary depending on the position. Typically, candidates need relevant education and experience in fields like engineering, science, or technology. Applicants need to apply through the USAJobs website and go through the standard hiring process.

Currently NASA have three space shuttles Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.

NASA was founded on July 29, 1958, making it over 60 years old.
