Now more than 65 years old, the US space and aeronautics agency has sent men to the Moon, robots to every planet in the solar system, and observatories into space to see back almost to the beginning of time. How did it begin, what does it do today and what are its plans for the future as it plays lead role in an international group of space-faring countries.
