NASA Celebrates America’s 250th Birthday

250 years ago, 13 colonies established a democracy built on courage, faith, and freedom. The nation's identity became defined by its willingness to push boundaries, conquering frontiers and inventing tools that shaped the modern world. Americans pushed beyond the sky, planting their flag on the moon, an achievement demonstrating American superiority in space. Today, American curiosity extends further, with robots exploring Mars and new telescopes glimpsing the first stars. A new generation prepares to return to the moon, this time to stay. For 250 years, America has advanced humanity, demonstrating that American exceptionalism is earned, not inherited. The nation's greatness stems from past accomplishments and its determination to discover more, as America thrives when reaching for something greater.
