The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the agency of the United States Federal Government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1958 with a distinctly civilian (rather than military) orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. The National Aeronautics and Space Act was passed on July 29, 1958, disestablishing NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency became operational on October 1, 1958.
Since that time, most US space exploration efforts have 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, the Space Launch System 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.

The potent blast from the Sun unleashed a firestorm of radiation on a level not witnessed since 2006, and will likely lead to moderate geomagnetic storm activity by Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
Scientist John Dorelli explains the MMS mission's orbit and why the four spacecraft fly in a tetrahedron formation. This complex arrangement enables scientists to gather data about magnetic reconnection in 3D. On its journey, MMS will observe a little-understood, but universal phenomenon called magnetic reconnection, responsible for dramatic re-shaping of the magnetic environment near Earth, often sending intense amounts of energy and fast-moving particles off in a new direction. Not only is this a fundamental physical process that occurs throughout the universe, it is also one of the drivers of space weather events at Earth. Truly understanding the process requires four identical spacecraft to track how such reconnection events move across and through any given space. This video is pub...
Astronauts on the International Space Station dissolved an effervescent tablet in a floating ball of water, and captured images using a camera capable of recording four times the resolution of normal high-definition cameras. The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station. This footage is one of the first of its kind. The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

New views from NASA's Cassini spacecraft of the unique six-sided jet stream around Saturn's north pole known as "the hexagon." As a work of the federal government, this film is in the public domain.
NASA's Juno spacecraft captured a unique time-lapse movie of the Galilean satellites in motion about Jupiter. The movie begins on June 12th with Juno 10 million miles from Jupiter, and ends on June 29th, 3 million miles distant. The innermost moon is volcanic Io; next in line is the ice-crusted ocean world Europa, followed by massive Ganymede, and finally, heavily cratered Callisto. Galileo observed these moons to change position with respect to Jupiter over the course of a few nights. From this observation he realized that the moons were orbiting mighty Jupiter, a truth that forever changed humanity's understanding of our place in the cosmos. Earth was not the center of the Universe. For the first time in history, we look upon these moons as they orbit Jupiter and share in Galileo’s revel...

WASHINGTON — Pluto, the small, icy celestial body at the back of the solar system, was downgraded from a regular planet to a dwarf planet in 2006. It has been known as just that for years — the planet that never was. But NASA's New Horizons mission, launched in the same year that Pluto was ripped of its planetary title, performed the first flyby study of Pluto and revealed that the dwarf planet's surface is surprisingly complex and unique. Pluto's surface differs from place to place. Areas are dominated by ice made from methane in some places, and nitrogen, carbon monoxide or water in others. The variation on its surface is unique "in the entirety of our outer solar system," New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern told NBC News. A heart-shaped region on Pluto known informally as ...
Unique high-quality images of Prometheus made apparatus "Cassini". Image of Saturn's moon Prometheus was received on 6 December 2015, in the visible light spectrum by using a narrow-angle camera of Cassini from a distance of 37 thousand kilometers. The spacecraft "Cassini" transferred to Earth detailed images of Saturn's moon Prometheus, according to NASA. High quality images were obtained on 6 December 2015 in the visible light spectrum by using a narrow-angle camera of Cassini from a distance of 37 thousand kilometers. The scale of the image is 220 meters per pixel. The satellite Prometheus has an irregular, elongated shape. On its surface are ridges, valleys and several craters. The satellite is called "shepherd" the F ring of Saturn. Уникальные качественные снимки Прометея сделал а...

NASA has a strong appetite when it comes to discovering new things about space. Without doubt, the renowned space agency is offering valuable perks to humanity through what it unveils, but there’s also a more mysterious side of it that’s being cloaked almost perfectly. With that being said, NASA may be pursuing higher goals than those...
A fascinating tour through our solar sytem, based on NASA's Science on a Sphere program "The Wanderers". Whole subtitles: In ancient times, humans watched the skies looking for clues to their future and to aid in their very survival. They soon observed that some stars were not fixed, but moved in the sky from night to night. They called these stars the wanderers. At the center of our solar system is the sun, binding the planets with its gravitational pull. From our viewpoint on earth, the sun appears small in the sky, but in reality it dwarfs even Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. The distance from the sun to the small worlds traveling it are vast. Light takes eight minutes to reach earth, and nearly a day to reach the farthest known bodies. Join us now as we tour...

Great video explaining the science of Jupiter and the exciting Juno mission. Features interviews with scientists and engineers working on the probe with interesting computer-generated imagery of the mission. Explains the science of the solar system, why this mission matters, the instruments on board and the scientists and engineers behind this mission. Read much more at the source of this documentary, http://missionjuno.swri.edu I downloaded hundreds of 1 minute videos and combined, so the "documentary" changes style a bit and is a little long-winded. Once it gets long-winded stop watching, skim through it or even better watch 2x speed! The probe arrives at Jupiter on July 4th 2016. (Launched August 5 2011)

We know from many pieces of evidence that NASA are being used to lie and cover up the truth about many things. But not only do NASA have a hand in brainwashing children by sending astronauts to lie to them about moon missions, they also have their people controlling the output of Hollywood movies. It seems that NASA is not just a truth protector but an active propaganda and misinformation spreader. Why should representatives of NASA be present on science fiction film sets? Why should actors in science fiction films help to promote NASAs blatant lies? Who is behind the script writing of huge Hollywood films which portray space travel to the public? Once you accept there is a real secret space programme, it becomes clear that all the noise put out with the help of NASA is one massive diversi...
You heard my cry and you saw my need
With a father's love you reached down for me
And like a child learning right from wrong
You keep teaching me and make your ways my own
Sometimes i feel it's more than i can bear
Well, i slip and stumble but you're always there
Chorus:
Lord, your love gets in the way
Every time i fall
Every time i think there's no hope for me at all
When it seems my fate is to drown in my mistakes
Lord, your love gets in the way
Some days go by without a fight
And some days i can't do anything right
I do my best just to stay on track
But it's one step forward and two steps back
And when i'm feeling like i can't go on
I lean on you lord cause you're always strong
Chorus
Bridge:
I start to wonder if i missed my call
The things i want to do i can't do at all
Your love keeps leading me right back to you
In spite of everything i do
