From the January 1958 launch of the first American satellite to the
creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration by
President Eisenhower just a few months later, from the heated space
race of the Cold War era to the heroes of shuttle launches, the
United States has been on the leading edge of space exploration and
technology. Initially developed from one of Adolph Hitler's most
feared weapons, the V2 rocket, the space program has accomplished
much in just a few short decades. The first American manned space
flight, which put astronaut Alan Shepard into space, was launched
in 1961; in 1965, Edward White became the first American to walk in
space--for a total of 21 minutes. In 1969, Neil Armstrong uttered
those now-famous words as he became the first human to walk on the
Moon. These and many other achievements, once considered
unimaginable, have inspired and amazed the American people and
engaged our brightest scientific minds.
