Nasa

NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the United States government agency responsible for space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research. Founded in 1958 in response to the Soviet Union's advances in space, particularly after the launch of Sputnik, NASA has led numerous groundbreaking achievements. These include the historic Apollo 11 mission that landed humans on the Moon in 1969, the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, and various missions exploring planets in our solar system.
