James Webb
James E. Webb was an influential American government administrator who served as the second administrator of NASA from 1961 to 1968. He played a crucial role in the Apollo program, which aimed to land humans on the Moon, and was a strong advocate for space science and exploration. Under his leadership, NASA expanded its focus beyond human spaceflight to include scientific research, laying the groundwork for future missions and projects. The James Webb Space Telescope, named in his honor, represents the pinnacle of modern astronomical technology, designed to observe the universe in unprecedented detail and to help answer fundamental questions about the origins of galaxies, stars, and planets.
