NASA

Unless you’ve been living on another planet (and even if you have), you probably already know at least the basics about NASA.

Established in 1958 by President Eisenhower, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is dedicated to the exploration of space, advancing scientific knowledge, and pioneering technological innovations that benefit humanity. Fun fact, did you know that NASA also invented the Super Soaker? Through its various missions, research programs, and educational outreach initiatives, NASA aims to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers, and that’s the way to do it.
