		NASA also administers the space shuttle program and a variety of other endeavors, which include improving the performance of airplanes and rockets (aeronautics), conducting scientific experiments in space, improving data-tracking technology, increasing international alliances for space activities, and establishing partnerships between private companies and government agencies in the aeronautics industry.
		NASA grew out of what became known as the âspace raceâ between the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) to create a rocket that could reach space and, ultimately, the Moon and perhaps Mars.
		These facilities include the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida; the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas; the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland; and the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

		After 1945 the agency's test pilots experimented with jet-powered aircraft, testing both human and technical limits in trying to break the so-called "sound barrier." In October 1958, when the launch of the Soviet Sputnik signaled the beginning of the space race, NACA formed the nucleus of the new National Aeronautics and Space Agency.
		The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics--forerunner of today's NASA--emerged in 1915, when airplanes were curiosities made of wood and canvas and held together with yards of baling wire.

	HoustonChronicle.com - Maxime Faget, NASA engineer, dies at 83
		The task group migrated from NASA's forerunner, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics based in Langley, Va., to Houston, where they formed the nucleus of the Johnson Space Center.
		Though slight of build, Faget exhibited a blunt self-confidence in his aeronautic engineering skills that won him membership in the exclusive Space Task Group, the team of 35 engineers selected by the Eisenhower administration in 1958 to kick off America's answer to the Cold War space challenge posed by the former Soviet Union.
		While other experts advocated the development of a "lifting body" with small wings, Faget made a convincing argument that the blunt shape of the ballistic missile nose cone could be adapted quickly into a capsule that could launch a pilot into space and return him.
