NASA

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is the United States government agency responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics research. Established in 1958, NASA's mission is to pioneer space exploration, advance scientific knowledge, and develop new technologies that benefit humanity. The agency has been behind major milestones in space exploration, including landing the first humans on the Moon with the Apollo missions and operating the Hubble Space Telescope.

Fun fact: NASA's Apollo 11 mission, which landed the first humans on the Moon in 1969, involved less computing power than a modern-day smartphone!
