Nasa's Inventions: Going To The Moon

Neil Armstrong once said “I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.” NASA has been sending satellites, space shuttles, people, and many other things into space ever since they were first created, but sending all those things into space isn’t the only thing that NASA has done, they have also done as much as they can to help the people. Even though many people believe that NASA’s inventions are only beneficial to themselves and anything relating to outer space, their exploration and studies have also helped advance technology, such as better healthcare, more efficient solar energy and public safety, and innovating new things to help improve the spacecraft and suits to make them safer. On October 1st, 1958, NASA was created a response to the Soviet Union's launch of their first satellite the Sputnik I in the great space race. When NASA was first created they started making satellites. The first U.S. satellite, Explorer 1, was launched January 31st, 1958 as a cosmic ray detector to measure the level of radiation in Earth’s orbit. Three months later, on the first of April, …show more content…
NASA’s satellites have helped with us predicting the weather and climate so that the farmers know what crops to plant. But not all satellites are watching the weather, some of the satellites are helping with finding disease and helping cure it, the satellites helped find out that the Hantavirus is linked to the changes in precipitation. Also satellite imaging can help alert them of a cholera, malaria, and even the avian flu outbreak. With these new and more advanced satellites being made it has helped NASA invent new things that is helping change the world in a variety of ways, such as helping with improving
