Taken from the NASA website:

Since its inception in 1958, NASA has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats in air and space. NASA technology also has been adapted for many nonaerospace uses by the private sector. NASA remains a leading force in scientific research and in stimulating public interest in aerospace exploration, as well as science and technology in general. Perhaps more importantly, our exploration of space has taught us to view Earth, ourselves, and the universe in a new way. While the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos.

NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the agency within the US government responsible for the public space program of the United States of America. It is also responsible for long-term civilian and military aerospace research.

NASA came into existence on July 29th, 1958, when then president Eisenhower signed the act that converted the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) into NASA.

If the link doesnt work, please browse this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasa where some of the stories are quite interesting, including the space race (between US and Soviet Union), and what criticisms it drew thorughout history.

If u cant access the site just go to the Wikipedia main page and type in 'nasa'
