Get ready to blast off into outer space with Mira and Finn on
History's Not Boring! Have you ever looked up at the stars and
wondered who helps humans explore the galaxy? The answer is NASA!
But how did this amazing space agency even begin? Our story
starts all the way back in October 1957. The Soviet Union shocked
the whole world by launching a tiny, beeping metal ball called
Sputnik into orbit! Americans were worried they were losing the
ultimate space race! To catch up, President Dwight D. Eisenhower
signed a law in 1958 creating a brand new agency: NASA! What
started as a fierce competition turned into one of the greatest
adventures in human history. Within just 11 years, American
astronauts were walking on the Moon! Since then, NASA has sent
robotic probes to every single planet, built the incredible
Hubble Space Telescope, and helped create the International Space
Station. Now, they are even building the new Artemis rockets to
take humans back to the Moon! Join us to discover how a race to
the stars ended up uniting people to explore the wonders of the
universe!
