Excerpt: 

Human space flight starts on the ground, where thousands of NASA employees, contractors and industry partners work together to send humans safely into space.

Annotation: 

This site developed by NASA contains information on current projects (International Space Station etc.) as well as histories of previous NASA projects. Some of the interesting features are the extensive image galleries, mission summaries, descriptions of past project goals and outcomes, and news releases about future plans. The history pages contain large amounts of detailed historical information including several full-length books.
