The
United States Space Program began in World War II when the
Germans developed the V-1 and V-2 rockets. After the war,
the US army brought the rocket scientist and engineers and their
rockets to the United States. The V-2 became the army
Redstone. The Cold War resulted in the development of the
Atlas and Titan missiles, which were later used for space
research. The Shuttle is America's reusable space vehicle.
But the National Aeronautics and Space Administration does
not sit on its laurels. Now in development is the Venture
Star, a replacement for the shuttle and a shuttle escape
vehicle. Also in this section, we have presented several
aircraft flown by NASA.
