Only with Project Gemini did America begin to undertake space “missions,” where the astronauts performed experiments and underwent extensive physical testing. ... (read more)

When NASA was created in 1958 almost nothing was known about how men and machines would perform in space.  In fact, to many the whole idea was crazy. Yet, in 1962 President Kennedy proclaimed that America was going to the Moon.  From lunacy to a lunar sea – a big step indeed.

Project Mercury was the beginning of America's manned flight in Earth orbit.  The man who said ‘No!’ went on to become one of mankind’s most accomplished astronauts.... (read more)

During a two-decade period, from the 1950s to the 1970s, a nuclear rocket propulsion system was developed capable of performing robotic and human exploration of our solar system. The US government’s Rover program developed the system and succeeded in demonstrating the propulsion capabilities required for deep space exploration missions. The program was terminated for political reasons in the mid-1970s. You have to wonder—if the nuclear rocket had been used and further developed during the 30 years since then, where could we be today?... (read more)
