	MSN Encarta - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
		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.
