	NASA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NASA's vision is "to improve life here, extend life to there, and to find life beyond." Its mission is "to understand and protect our home planet ; to explore the Universe and search for life ; and to inspire the next generation of explorers."
		NASA's early programs were research into human spaceflight, and were conducted under the pressure of the competition between the USA and the USSR (the Space Race) that existed during the Cold War.
		NASA had won the space race, and in some senses this left it without direction, or at the very least without the public attention and interest that was necessary to guarantee large budgets from Congress.
