NASA

In fact the rockets were called Saturn, Apollo was the name of the missions. NASA used "classical" names to name their programmes from 1958 until the Space Shuttle missions started. The first manned missions were Mercury (the messenger of the Gods), the intermediate missions between Mercury and Apollo were called Gemini - named after the astrological sign of the twins as the Gemini missions had two astronauts per flight. Apollo was named by Abe Silverstein after the God of light and archery.

As of 2021, NASA employs around 17,000 people. However, this number can vary based on projects, contracts, and budget allocations.

As of September 2021, NASA has had over 200 missions, with some resulting in partial or complete failure. However, the exact number of failed missions can vary depending on how failure is defined (e.g., partial failure, complete failure, etc.).

No one bought NASA. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is a government agency of the United States and is not for sale. It is funded by the US government for space exploration and scientific research.

NASA is the US "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", the US government's civilian space agency. NASA was responsible for early rocket testing and the first US manned missions, culminating in the exploration of the Moon in the 1960's and 1970's. The agency created the first US space station, Skylab. NASA now operates the Space Shuttle fleet and services the Interplanetary Space Station (ISS) as well as launching unmanned probes to other planets and locations in the solar system. NASA also sponsors advanced aeronautic research. The coming programs from NASA include a manned Lunar Outpost (by 2019) and missions to Mars and other planets using the upcoming Orion spacecraft design. (see related link)

NASA means "NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION" and is the US civilian space agency.

You can find diagrams of a space shuttle online through resources such as NASA's website or scientific illustration databases. Books and documentaries on space exploration may also include detailed diagrams of space shuttles.

There was no US space shuttle by that name.

Possibly you are thinking of the Apollo 13 flight, which did not crash, but experienced an explosion on board. The command module was called Odyssey, and successfully returned to earth with the crew.

NASA first landed astronauts on the moon in 1969 as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon's surface on July 20, 1969.

Benjamin Franklin came up with the basic idea, but it wasn't until the 19th century that the technology was present to allow Erwin Hanks to fully develop the idea. In honor of Erwin's work his son, Tom Hanks, was chosen to star in the film Apollo 13.

A space shuttle can reach speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) during launch and re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet

The name of the first space shuttle that was run through free flight simulation was Enterprise, but the first space shuttle to actually reach orbit was Columbia in 1981.

Challenger (January 28, 1986). Columbia (February 1, 2003) broke up in the atmosphere because of a hole in the wing made by a piece of foam at launch.

It was the shuttle Discovery that took her to the ISS on December 10 2006, and Atlantis brought her home to Earth on June 22 2007.

The space shuttle's docking port was located at the nose of the orbiter. When docked with the International Space Station, the shuttle's docking mechanism connected to a corresponding port on the ISS to allow for crew and cargo transfer between the two spacecraft.

The shuttle's main engines gimbal before engine start and lift-off to ensure that the exhaust gases are projected in the correct direction as a way of steering the shuttle. The gimbaling enables the shuttle to clear the tower and again to perform the belly roll it does after the tower is cleared.

It is called liftoff.

too much :'(

Water is supplied to the International Space Station through a system that recycles urine, sweat, and exhaled moisture from the astronauts. This reclaimed water is then purified and reused for drinking, cooking, and hygiene purposes. Additionally, periodic resupply missions bring up additional water from Earth when needed.

The 1988 Space Shuttle Discovery commemerative coin had a face value of $5 and is technically legal tender, so you could theoretically change it for $5 at a bank, or simply spend it. According to a recent (2009-08-02) completed listings search on ebay, successful sales of the item ranged from 3 for $5 ($1.60) up to $9.95. Sellers have listed the coin for as much as $29.99, but there were no recent sales at that price. According to a typical inflation calculator, $5 in 1988 would now be worth $8.99 in 2009 dollars. So if we take its current worth to be $9.95, then the coin has appreciated approximately 11% in 20 years.

Some Indians who have been involved with NASA include Kalpana Chawla, the first woman of Indian origin in space; Sunita Williams, an astronaut who has spent a total of 322 days in space; and Swati Mohan, the guidance and controls operations lead for the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landing.

The simple answer is 'our taxes' Certain taxes are used for specific purposes such as the gasoline tax which is dedicated to road construction and repair. But a great deal of tax monies especially income tax is used wherever the government sees fit.

NASA isn't exactly sure. The satellite had failed, so it was difficult to track. But they're sort-of confident that it fell into the north Pacific ocean.
