ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Department of Defense Manned Space Flight Support Office

Ok kiddo, so the Department of Defense Manned Space Flight Support Office is a group of people who help astronauts and their spaceships when they go to space. They do things like help plan the mission, make sure the spaceship is safe to fly, and help the astronauts while they are up there.

But why does the Department of Defense help with space things?

Well, it's because space is a really important place for the military. They use satellites and other things up there to help them do their job on Earth. So they want to make sure that everything in space is working well and that if there is ever a problem, they can help fix it.

So the people in the Department of Defense Manned Space Flight Support Office are like space helpers?

Yes, that's right! They are the space helpers for the military. They work really hard to make sure everything goes smoothly in space so that the astronauts can do their job and the military can keep doing theirs on Earth.
