NASA, a dispute


NASA
January 31 1958, 84 days after of be approved the project of Von Braun, the first rocket Jupiter put on orbit Explorer 1, the first artificial satellite of the United States. So exited were the politicians of that country that they understood the necessity of creating a civil institution that concentrated all the space activities with a peace character leaving the army, the marine, and navy to exclusives companies of military. That is why it was born the 1 of October of 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that substituted the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). In the next years, with the direction of the NASA, was mitigated the initial Russian leadership in the area of space rockets.
With the creation of the NASA the Russians were not the only ones that wanted space. With this creation there is a dispute between the Russians and the Americans of who will be the best. As we know the Americans were the first to get to the moon, but the Russians (known as Soviets) were the first to travel to space. There has been a dispute with these two countries, for long time, always they want to know who the best is. There is a dispute not only in space, but also in who is the best army, the best in chess, in the medals of the Olympics, in strategy among others. I think that these countries will start fighting for the ownership of space including all the planets, stars, galaxies and what will be discover. I think there will be a big fighting, like the one of the Cold War where both countries wanted a single spark to go and through all their power see who is finally better. Luckily it did not started and said they will disintegrate their bombs, but as we know they did not do it, or at least not at all.
