NASA

The best place to launch a rocket is typically a spaceport situated near the equator, such as the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana or the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These locations benefit from the higher rotational speed of the Earth near the equator, enabling rockets to gain more velocity and efficiency when launching into orbit.

No!No!No! Absolutely not possible. Please don't be live about everything in Internet..itz just a rumour. Sunrise in India is about the same time as sunset in the US. Unless the Earth stops rotating suddenly and drastically changes shape, it;s not true. Of course, it that did happen the force of that much motion coming to a halt would kill us all, then the sunlit half would boil while the nightside would freeze solid. So don't bother moving to India just yet.

Neil Armstrong retired from NASA to pursue other interests and spend more time with his family. After his historic space mission to the moon, Armstrong felt that he had accomplished his primary goal at NASA and was ready to move on to new challenges.

Sending a robot into space can cost anywhere from tens of millions to billions of dollars, depending on the complexity of the mission and the spacecraft. Costs include research and development, launch services, operation expenses, and maintenance. Commercial companies and government agencies typically bear these expenses.

NASA was created in 1958 as a response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik. Its purpose is to conduct research and exploration in space, advance technology, and promote scientific discovery for both civilian and military applications.

Computers on a chip. Many, many materials, including, I believe, Kevlar and aluminized plastic (Space Blanket survival material). Extensive research was done into fireproofing, food preservation and preparation. The first calculator was a "four banger" made especially for Apollo, because nowhere else in the world had them! Miniaturized radar (think "grandpa microwave oven"!). Extensive engineering breakthroughs in remotely controlled valves and other gear. Avionics. Fuel cells. Space pens! Miniature TV cameras the size of a shoebox, rather than the size of a trunk, using much less power. Motors the size of a washing machine that could outperform a locomotive. Corrosion proofing. Insulation. Epoxies for both glue and heat shielding. The first "walkman" size cassette player (see "Apollo 13" for this one! Superreliable... just about everything! Improved electric motors, like the four that ran the tires on the Rover. I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot, but that is a start.

The first satellite was launched on October 4, 1957, the landfill Tura-Tam (now - Baikonur). This day is celebrated in Russia as a day of cosmic forces. The satellite descended from orbit January 4, 1958.

There is no literal "dark side of the Moon"; both sides get light when they face the sun as they go around the Earth every 29 or so days. Most people mean the Far Side of the Moon. That can't be seen from Earth. The last humans to see it were the Apollo 17 crew. I am not positive but I think the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was the last piece of NASA gear to see it. The LRO could see so sharply that you could see the Apollo landers, sometimes so clearly you could see the LM footpads and the trails the astronauts left in the lunar dust. Even some of the gear could be identified. So much for the "they never went" crowd!I am posting some links about this, below.

If you mean college, he graduated from Purdue University.

Space shuttles were designed for multiple missions, typically flying around 25-30 missions before being retired. NASA had multiple space shuttles in its fleet, such as Atlantis, Discovery, Endeavour, and Columbia, which were used for various missions before being replaced.

No, it is independent of the military. It does use military people & equipment to assist. The first NASA astronauts were military pilots.

"Phoenix", launched August 4, 2007, successfully landed on Mars on May 25, 2008. It is designed to seek water ice near the Martian north pole.

NASA is located in the United States of America. Its headquarters is in Washington, D.C., but it has various research centers and facilities across the country.

NASA did not say *anything* is going to happen. It is just the Mayan's "Millennium", so to speak, and will wind up being a bigger wet firecracker than Y2K.

on December 12 2012 the earth is going to have a polar shift which no one really knows what will happen after that

NASA did not say this, which is what was asked. No one who knows anything about science thinks that 2012 will have a polar shift or anything else.

there were 7 shuttles made, but only 3 are in use today. the ones that are in use are Discovery, Endervor, and Atlantis. the ones that blew up were coulumbia and challenger. the ones that were made just for test were Enterprice and Pathfinder.

an objective that i know that nasa has is to find life out side our home planets. like was there once life on mars. or are there other universes. also they have a saying "earth, moon, mars and beyond"

NASA plays a crucial role in advancing the study of space by conducting research, developing technology, and exploring the universe through various missions. NASA's work has led to important discoveries about our solar system, galaxy, and beyond, as well as contributed to our understanding of Earth's place in the cosmos. Additionally, NASA's efforts in space exploration inspire future generations and drive innovation in science and technology.

The founder of N.A.S.A. was Dr. Smith de France

(The California location)

No, NASA no longer sends animals to space for scientific research. Animal testing in space was common in the past, but advances in technology and ethical considerations have led to the development of alternative methods for studying the effects of space travel on living organisms.

NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope on the space shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on 24 April 1990 and the telescope was released two days later on the 26th.

The STS-8 mission was the eighth Space Shuttle mission by NASA, launched on August 30, 1983, and returned on September 5. The Challenger was tragically lost during the STS-51-L mission in 1986. The value of the USPS NASA flight cover and envelope postmarked August 14, 1983, with a postmarked 9.35 stamp, commemorates the successful completion of the mission.

The shuttle missions are numbered in order of launch date. The next launch will be STS-125, which will service Hubble. Sometimes they launch out of sequence because of delays. STS-119 will launch in between STS-126 and STS-127. Assuming the first launch was STS-1, there would seem to have been 123 shuttle missions.

The space shuttle that NASA puts up leaves from the Kennedy Space Center (next door to Cape Canaveral) in Florida. It is the only place with large enough facilities to assemble, transport and launch this massive vehicle. Launch Complex 39, the old Apollo staging area, was refitted to handle the big rig. You need links, and we got 'em. They're to related articles posted by our friends at Wikipedia, where knowledge is free.

The first rocket to reach space was the German V-2 rocket, launched by Germany during World War II on October 3, 1942. It reached an altitude of 189 km (118 miles), crossing the boundary of space at 100 km (62 miles) above the Earth's surface.

The Apollo Command Module and Lunar Landing Module were launched using a Saturn V
