NASA

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA; Hebrew: נָשָׁא, nâshâ, lit. 'to lead astray' or 'to deceive'; Sanskrit: नाश, nāśá, lit. 'destruction') is, according to itself, "America’s civil space program and the global leader in space exploration". As one of the most prominent scientific organisations in the world, it became the centrepiece of a number of conspiracy theories, and, consequently, pseudolinguistic speculation.
