America‚ NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Division) is the main organization for conduction space exploration and development. NASA runs under government supervision and under government funding‚ in other words‚ it is not a private company. NASA’s vision is “To reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.” It was launched by President Dwight D.

Space is for NASA not for Google! Private companies are trying their luck at space travel. One day you could possibly go up into space on a shuttle made by the same brand that makes your cellphone. There are lots of flaws to space privatization including it being unsafe‚ not going to work out long term‚ and the fact that America already has a space program. There have been several failed attempts at space travel by private companies before‚ and most of them looked promising. And most private companies

NASA describes the Shuttle as a combination of elements comprised of the orbiter‚ solid rocket boosters and the fuel tank. All of these components are required for launch flight and the thrusts and velocity figures allow for stability in flight when all components are

“One Giant Leap to Nowhere”‚ Tom Wolfe‚ the author‚ discusses the standstill found in NASA and subsequently its death after the Apollo 11 mission trip. He marks July 20‚ 1969 as the fall of NASA‚ though much of America would disagree and state that this was only the beginning. Wolfe goes on to describe the purpose of NASA‚ explaining that beating the Soviet Union in the space race was the sole purpose of NASA.

NASA should not send a manned mission to Mars. There will be many astronauts who die on the trip to Mars. Also‚ the cost for the trip is very high. NASA should not send a manned mission to Mars because there is a chance that many of the astronauts will die. Mary Bowerman on the usatoday.com website said "An MIT analysis of the

Ron Howard’s re-creation of the happenings aboard NASA’s Apollo 13 flight combined some of the biggest talent in Hollywood to produce a masterful film. Apollo 13 takes us back in time‚ to the late 1960’s and early 70’s‚ when America’s NASA space program was thriving and the world stood aside to see who would reach the moon first. The impacts of space program are still evident to this day. It is even said that by beating the Russians to the moon‚ we established ourselves are the top power in the

The new plan was not just to shut down the shuttle program‚ but also to challenge NASA to move forward. For years NASA has always been the best at making unmanned spacecraft. They have succeeded and accomplished many missions that have expanded our knowledge of our solar system. The space shuttle on the other hand‚ was not NASA’s strong point. With
