The science of rockets
NASA has used atlas rockets to launch probes and satellites into orbit around earth. On those rockets there are three stages. The stages are atlas, centaur, and payload.
The space programs
Its mission was to explore space. After many missions they did the Apollo 13. Their mission was to land on the moon. Their mission was unsuccessful. They landed back on earth in the pacific Ocean near Samoa.
Exploring robots
NASA has been working on a robot called astronaut assistant. The robot will be able to monitor temperature, pressure, and air quality.
Benefits of space science
Less than one percent of US budget is spent on NASA. People think the funds should not go to NASA but to an organization for disease research.
