Mariner 8, also known as Mariner-H, was launched May 8, 1971 aboard an Atlas-Centaur SLV-3C booster (AC-24). It failed at an altitude of approximately 148km, 4.7 minutes mission time, when its upper stage booster pitch began to oscillate and eventually caused a complete failure of the vehicle. The spacecraft and Centaur engine (which shut down automatically) were separated and fell through the Earth's atmosphere, splashing down in the Atlantic approximately 1500km downrange of the launch center, and about 560km north of Puerto Rico.

How many satellites are there in space?
That depends on what you call a satellite. The correct use of the word simply means an object caught in earths orbit. If this is what you are looking for there are litterally tens of thousands of objects from small meteorites to lost tools and rocket stages floating in orbit. So much so that it is now becomming increasingly dangerous to put new vehicles in space as the debris orbits at around 17000 miles per hour.
If man made satellites for communications is what you are searching for then thats difficult to gauge. It's unlikely that most countries will admit to placing spy satellites in space to the true figure is difficult to say, but The Goddard Space Flight Center's lists 2,271 satellites currently in orbit.
Russia has the most satellites currently in orbit, with 1,324 satellites, followed by the U.S. with 658.

Yes there are some toilets in space. Astronauts started with adult diapers. But for longer missions, this was not ideal. Plastic bags were taped to astronaut backsides for collection. Liquids were also collected in bags but leaks proved annoying. Eventually a space toliet was created with a fan to pull odors away and help pull wastes away in low gravity. Scientists are still working on a better space toliet.
What kind of fuel did the Saturn V rockets use?
The type was called "hypergolic", a fancy name that means that the fuel ignites on its own when mixed with another chemical, so does not need igniters to start it up, which means one less thing that can go wrong.
The actual name of the fuel was Aerozine 50, which burns when the engine mixed it with nitric acid. A similar but not identical fuel is used on the Space Shuttle, in the tiny rockets used for steering and positioning.

What happened on March 23 of 1965 in the US?
Gemini 3:NASA launched the United States' first 2-person crew (Gus Grissom, John Young) into Earth Orbit on March 23, 1965.
light travels at approximately 300,000,000 m/s, so to pass 7.5*1010 meters it would take:
7.5*1010/300,000,000=250 seconds
= 4.167 minutes
P.S. Mars is not that close, in real life the signal takes about ten minutes to travel either way.
Which NASA is in Houston Texas?
If you NASA, it is just off Interstate 45 s. which runs through Houston. From the center of town, without too much traffic, you could definitely get to NASA in 20 minutes. So it's like a Houston burb. Close to a the Clear Lake another town.
