I need websites, and don't give me abouts please?\n\nand what were other tragedies in NASA program other than the Space Shuttle disasters.

6 manned missions landed on the moon (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). Each Apollo mission has 3 astronauts, 2 of which descended to the lunar surface and walked around. That makes a total of 12 people (all Americans) who have ever walked on the moon.\n\nThe most notable NASA tragedies would be Apollo 1 (fire during a test, 3 people killed), the Challenger explosion (space shuttle exploded during liftoff), and the Columbia disaster (orbiter broke up on re-entry).

(m)\n\nLaunching NASA \n\n"An Act to provide for research into the problems of flight within and outside the Earth's atmosphere, and for other purposes." With this simple preamble, the Congress and the President of the United States created the national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on October 1, 1958. NASA's birth was directly related to the pressures of national defense. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in the Cold War, a broad contest over the ideologies and allegiances of the nonaligned nations. During this period, space exploration emerged as a major area of contest and became known as the space race. \n\nDuring the late 1940s, the Department of Defense pursued research and rocketry and upper atmospheric sciences as a means of assuring American leadership in technology. A major step forward came when President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved a plan to orbit a scientific satellite as part of the International Geophysical Year (IGY) for the period, July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958, a cooperative effort to gather scientific data about the Earth. The Soviet Union quickly followed suit, announcing plans to orbit its own satellite. \n\nThe Naval Research Laboratory's Project Vanguard was chosen on 9 September 1955 to support the IGY effort, largely because it did not interfere with high-priority ballistic missile development programs. It used the non-military Viking rocket as its basis while an Army proposal to use the Redstone ballistic missile as the launch vehicle waited in the wings. Project Vanguard enjoyed exceptional publicity throughout the second half of 1955, and all of 1956, but the technological demands upon the program were too great and the funding levels too small to ensure success. \n\nGo through the following link, it will very helpful to you\nhttp://www.policyalmanac.org/economic/archive/nasa_history.shtml

wow...in 1968 i watched what appeared to be a shiny metallic piece of  crumpled metal tumble towards earth for 10 minutes, it was probably space debris or toilet ejecta from a passing airliner.what you seen was likely hardboard insulation like they use on construction sites, that stuff will fly a long ways with little wind....or else it was a runaway magic carpet

A 16-member NASA Genesis Mishap Investigation Board (MIB) was quickly formed, including experts on pyrotechnics, avionics, and other relevant specialties. The MIB started its work on September 10, 2004 when it arrived at Dugway Proving Ground. It determined that all scientific hardware meant to be curated by the Johnson Space center can be released and are not needed for the work of the board. Both JPL and Lockheed Martin have begun to prepare flight data and other records for the MIB.\n\nIt was announced on September 23, 2004 that the capsule, having had the science material extracted, would be moved to the Lockheed Martin Space Systems facility near Denver, Colorado, for MIB use.\n\nA first possible root cause of the failed deployment of the parachutes was announced in an October 14 press release. Lockheed Martin had built the system with an acceleration sensor's internal mechanisms wrongly oriented, and design reviews had not caught the mistake. The intended design was to make an electrical contact inside the sensor at 3 g (29 m/s²), maintaining it through the maximum expected 30 g (290 m/s²), and breaking the contact again at 3 g to start the parachute release sequence. Instead, no contact was ever made.[3]\n\nThe same general parachute concept was also used on the Stardust comet sample return spacecraft, which landed successfully in 2006; that system was said not to have Genesis's flaw.\n\nShortly after the spacecraft crashed, it was pointed out that Colin Pillinger, part of the science team analysing the collected samples, was also the Principal Investigator for the ill-fated Beagle 2 mission to Mars. It had been suggested that the cause of Beagle 2's loss (which is as yet undetermined) might also have been due to a parachute failure. The determination of the cause of Genesis's parachute failure rules out any link between the two failures.\n\n\nThe chair of the NASA investigation board, Michael Ryschkewitsch noted that none of the stringent review procedures at NASA had picked up a mistake, saying, "It would be very easy to mix this up".

Just do a google search.\n\n1956. What happend then\nNasa sent Apollo missions up in space, etc.

I think it will be safe(er than before). The vehicle has been improved. There is a plan in place to inspect the shuttle for damage after arrival in space and stay at the space station until another vehicle can bring the crew down if any damage is seen.

The US NASA budget for 2005 is about 17 billion dollars. That is nothing much compared to the untold billions spent on such garbage as the current Iraq war in terms of return on investment.

It was not quite thousands of engineers, but some dozens. Thousands lost their jobs when Avro Arrow was canceled, but only a few of them came to the US and joined NASA. And yes, they did make important contributions.

What exactly are you seeking? I am an emergency mgmt specialist and there are tons of places to get info. The first place I would suggest would be www.ready.gov.\nAlso, try www.fema.gov or your state's emergency management office.  Good luck!
