[Music] [Music] our goals are to expand the scientific understanding of the earth and the universe create innovative new space technologies and to extend and sustain human activities across the solar system an organization that dates back to 1915 called naca is the force behind the united states air supremacy during world war ii years later in 1957 the soviet union launches the first artificial satellite the sputnik one naca is then absorbed into the newly formed nasa on the 1st of october 1958 with a budget of 89 million dollars the space race begins [Music] the jet propulsion lab uses a juno one rocket to launch the first united states satellite the explorer one 11 months later jpl is absorbed by nasa the apollo program is announced test pilot neil armstrong takes his first test
