Atlantis Space Shuttle Launch as seen from above.
I always thought NASA was the most important government organization. NASA was responsible for inspiring so many kids to study science and to literally reach for the stars.

“Pale Blue Dot”
The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken in 1990 by the Voyager 1 space craft from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers from Earth. In the photograph, Earth is shown as a tiny dot against the vastness of space. The Voyager 1 spacecraft, which had completed its primary mission and was leaving the solar system, was commanded by NASA to turn its camera around and to take a photograph of Earth across a great expanse of space, by the request of Carl Sagan.
