NASA

National Aeronautics and Space Administrion

Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos. Check out our "Thinking About NASA History" folder online as an introduction to how history can help you.

Gravity and Time

"Few ideas in physics feel as intuitive, yet remain as puzzling, as time. In Einstein’s theory of relativity, time is not fixed. It changes depending on motion and gravity."https://scitechdaily.com/physicists-propose-strange-experiment-where-time-goes-quantum/

Johnson Space Center

"From Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars, explore the world of human spaceflight with NASA each week on the official podcast of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Listen to in-depth conversations with the astronauts, scientists and engineers who make it possible."https://www.nasa.gov/podcasts/houston-we-have-a-podcast/artemis-ii-backup-crew/
