The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States government that is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Since February 2006, NASA's mission statement has been to "pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research." On September 14, 2011, NASA announced that it had selected the design of a new Space Launch System that it said would take the agency's astronauts farther into space than ever before and provide the cornerstone for future human space exploration efforts by the U.S.
NASA was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on July 29, 1958, replacing its predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The agency became operational on October 1, 1958. U.S. space exploration efforts have since been led by NASA, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and later the Space Shuttle. Currently, NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program (LSP) which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for unmanned NASA launches.
I carry all the scars, but I'm not dead
I live behind the bars, in my head
And every moment, every day, I still won't give the game away
But all these memories pull me down like lead
I lived my life in the hope of a second chance
Won't let the knife cut the rope of this old romance
I'm slowly taking apart my broken sanity
Another shot ring it out for me
And there's a lot that you can't undo
I will not let this part of me be apart from you
I'll make another start, oh so simply
Maybe you'll restart the heart that you gave me
And all the lights that shone the way, are getting darker every day
And all your memories have now become my bed
I lived my life in the hope of a second chance
Won't let the knife cut the rope of this old romance
I'm slowly taking apart my broken sanity
Another shot ring it out for me
There's a lot that you can't undo
I will not let this part of me be apart from you
Another shot to my heart, I need
(Make it stop)
There's a lot that I need to do
I cannot let this part of me be a part of you
Won't be a part of you (x2)
Another shot ring it out for me
There's a lot that you can't undo
I will not let this part of me be apart from you
Another shot to my heart, I need
(Make it stop)
There's a lot that I need to do
I cannot let this part of me be a part of you
Another shot, ring it out (ring it out)
Another shot, sing it out
