Visitors to the Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA, can stroll in the Rocket Garden to see various booster rockets and spacecraft that have been part of the United States program for exploration of outer space under the direction of America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). That civilian agency was established in 1958 by the Congress in response to the Soviet Union’s launch of its first satellite, Sputnik I, in the previous year, which began the Space Race between the two countries.
