- 9. What are the long-lasting effects of Andy Thomas? What is NASA? I think some of the long-lasting effects of Andy Thomas would be his influence on young people who want to be astronauts. The fact that he is Australian gives the message to other young Australians that ‘If I can become an astronaut then so can you’. NASA is a space organisation which stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. To become someone who can work there you can’t just fill out an application and start. It takes years of studying at university. To get into NASA you must have perseverance and determination.

I think Andy Thomas has been successful because he is the only South Australian to ever become an astronaut and the only Australian to ever become very successful in America and at NASA. Another success for Andy would be the influence he gives out to people around the world.
