Explanation:
Space is a place. Some people think of space as a nebulous region far
above their heads—extending out to infinity. But for us, space is a
place where things happen: spacecraft orbit Earth, planets orbit the
Sun, and the Sun revolves around the center of our galaxy.
In this chapter we’ll look at this place we call space, exploring where it
begins and how far it extends. We’ll see that space is actually very close
Then, starting with our “local neighborhood,” we’ll take
a mind-expanding tour beyond the galaxy to see what’s in space. Next
we’ll see what space is like. Before taking any trip, we usually check the
weather, so we’ll know whether to pack a swim suit or a parka. In the
same way, we’ll look at the space environment to see how we must
prepare ourselves and our Earth and Moon. Although in the night sky the Moon looks really far away,
Earth’s atmosphere is relatively shallow, so space is close.

Explanation:
NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency was to have a distinctly civilian orientation, encouraging peaceful applications in space science.[8][9][10] Since its establishment, 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. NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System, and Commercial Crew vehicles. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program, which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for uncrewed NASA launches.
NASA science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System;[11] advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program;[12] exploring bodies throughout the Solar System with advanced robotic spacecraft missions such as New Horizons;[13] and researching astrophysics topics, such as the Big Bang, through the Great Observatories and associated programs.[14]
