My family...

I'd write a book about my family!!

My father name's Diego, he's 39 years old. His birthday is on the 9 of September. He is an extremely hard working person. He gives my sister and I everything we need and we want...but we are not spoilt!!

My mother name's Alicia, she's 39 years old. Her birthday is on the 28 of November. She's very hard working too! She is the person tha is always there for me, and she knows exactly what to do when I feel sad or angry....when I'm not feeling too good. My mother is very intelligent, she helps me when I don't understand something at highschool.

My sister name's Micaela, she's 9 years old. Her birthday is on the 14 of October. She is an exellent person...but she knows how to make me angry!! She's very intelligent at school, and she loves studying English too.

My parents are strict with me and my sister. We have normal rules in the house (for example,

we have to get up early, I can't go out on Sundays because that day is for doing homework, etc)

I think they are a great example for my and my sister! They always want the best for us.

NASA

In October 1, 1958, the official start of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), was the beginning of a rich history of unique scientific and technological achievements in human space flight, aeronautics, space science, and space applications.

Formed as a result of the Sputnik crisis of confidence, NASA inherited the earlier National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), and other government organizations, and almost immediately began working on options for human space flight. NASA's first high profile program was Project Mercury, an effort to learn if humans could survive in space, followed by Project Gemini, which built upon Mercury's successes and used spacecraft built for two astronauts. NASA's human space flight efforts then extended to the Moon with Project Apollo, culminating in 1969 when the Apollo 11 mission first put humans on the lunar surface. After the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz Test Projects of the early and mid-1970s, NASA's human space flight efforts again resumed in 1981, with the Space Shuttle program that continues today to help build the International Space Station.

NASA also has done pioneering work in space applications satellites.

NASA has helped bring about new generations of communications satellites such as the Echo, Telstar, and Syncom satellites. NASA's Earth science efforts have also literally changed the way we view our home planet; the Landsat and Earth Observing System spacecraft have contributed many important scientific findings.

NASA technology has also resulted in numerous "spin-offs" in wide-ranging scientific, technical, and commercial fields.

Overall, while the tremendous technical and scientific accomplishments of NASA demonstrate vividly that humans can achieve previously inconceivable feats, we also are humbled by the realization that Earth is just a tiny "blue marble" in the cosmos.
