NASA

The initial driving force to once be known as NASA was due to the launch of Sputnik on October 4th 1957. Ever since then, humans have been cranking down on technology.NASA was first founded July 29th, 1958. What NASA was basically about, was the new goals, space exploration, and great technological advancements. NASA was originally linked to Sputnik. An artificiall satellite we launched. NASA was only involved with such expertise, that we landed people on the moon just 11 years after the monumental corporation . A couple big names contributed to founding NASA. Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Wernher von Braun, and Richard Nixon.
NASA was actually founded in 1915. However, it was known as the National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics, or NACA. Quite the monumental leap happened in this time period. With  lots of time and careful thinking we were able to produce something so huge and technological we could send other humans in there, and shoot them up to the moon and hope to god everything goes smooth. However, we did work our way up. Started off with project mercury to see what was necessary to get people to survive in space. Then soon enough after that come project Apollo in 1969 when we landed the first humans on the moon. Simply remarkable. Humans were blessed with the gift of curiosity. Ever since the dawn of time, humans have been wondering around questioning life and all of its obstacles. We have come a long way since those Neandrathals though. Rather than figuring out now to start a fire to keep you safe throughout the night, we figured out how to make a huge rocket that we stuff humans inside of and shoot off into space to see how sketchy they can get on the moon. And hopefully everything goes to plan. Therefor NASA was born.
