Why were the first US astronauts all men from the military?
Because the Air Force in the 1940's and 50's was the predecessor to NASA. A lot of the top scientists and aviators were a part of the Air Force and had the experience to make the jump. It was a natural step being that these individuals already had the best training at the time and the only real experience with many of the problems that the blossoming space program was going to experience.
Actually the main reason that the first US astronauts were all military is very simple: When NASA was created by President Eisenhower in 1959, he specifically stated that the astronaut-candidates were all to be test pilots--and the only place you could find test pilots was in the military. This requirement to be test pilots was also why there were no female candidates, even though there were several females who qualified in every other aspect.
Who is the president responsible for NASA?
President Dwight D. Eisenhower, responding to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, formed the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to investigate what a new federal agency overseeing the U.S. effort to explore outer space would entail. The result was the formation of NASA in 1958.
NASA was created by the National Aeronatics and Space Adminstration Act which was passed by Congress on July 16 1958.
NASA became operational on October 1 of that year.

Is the astronaut Sunita Williams a Muslim?
While a person's religion is a private matter, I would suggest that the fact that she took a copy of the Bhagavad Gita with her into space indicates that she is not. The recent claims of her converting because of things she saw from the moon is a hoax. No shuttle has gone to the moon and is designed only for low earth orbit.
AnswerWhile I do not know what religion she is, this question may refer to a hoax that has been around which claims that she converted to Islam because of things that she saw while on the moon. The claim refers to her as the 'first Indian woman on the moon'. This is completely false. Not only is she not the first Indian woman on the moon, there have been no women at all on the moon as yet. She did live on the ISS for a time, but definitely did not go to the moon! The gross factual errors alone show the credibility of the claim. Similar claims exist about other celebrities too which are mainly due to evangelist enthusiasm.In her recent visit to Gujarat,India the country to which she belonged originally,during press meet she never claimed that she had embraced Islam.

Both stages of the Titan II rocket used Aerozine-50 (a combination of 50% UDMH [unsymmetric dimethylhydrazine] and 50% MMH (monomethylhydrazine) as the fuel, and dinitrogen tetroxide as the oxidizer.
Interestingly, the LR-87 engines that powered the first stage of Titan II, as well as the LR-91 engine that powered the second stage, were both also capable of burning two other combinations of propellant - LH2 (liquid hydrogen) and LOX (liquid oxygen) as well as RP-1 (kerosene) and LOX.
