N.A.S.A

N.A.S.A (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is a branch of the United States Government specializing in the civilian space program.

History
In 1946, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics was busy working on secret rocket plane projects such as the supersonic Bell X-1. When the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite into space, the United States started producing fledgling space efforts of their own.

By 1958, President Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act which formed N.A.S.A. By 1959, the president approved on a seal for N.A.S.A and by the 1960s, became apart of John F. Kennedy's space race to the moon. N.A.S.A became the winners of the race when the Apollo 11 spacecraft and it's 3 astronauts set the star spangled banner on the lunar surface in 1969.

2000-2020
N.A.S.A remained active throughout the 20th century and even into the 21st century where they continued research into new theories and ideas. By 2012, scientists at N.A.S.A revealed that they were in fact experimenting with the theories of warp drive without being in violation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. By 2014, designer Mark Rademaker revealed computer-generated images and designs for a ship that could accommodate the warp drive. The ship was named the IXS Enterprise in honor of the starship used in the original series Star Trek.

Throughout the next 6 years, N.A.S.A was constructing the Enterprise after creating a warp field generator and updating the technology of the time. By 2020, the ship was complete and N.A.S.A was preparing to launch the ship with a crew of 20. They first decided to set their sights on the Alpha Centauri star system where the ship managed to reach at warp speed.
