What does NASA say about kites online?

• The tow-launch of the hang glider Paresev was a kiting scene with the wing occupied by live pilot; many of them released from the kiting and concluded the hang glider flight in free-flight kite gliding where the pilot's mass and the mass of the pilot holder was the resistive set that tensioned the hang point to pull the wing.
• NASA has some quotes here and there on other kiting matters.
• Lightning research is one of the first sciences developed in America. Ben Franklin became famous for his experiment in which he flew a kite in a thunderstorm to test his theory that lightning was the same as the exciting, new phenomenon called electricity. (Franklin was lucky; another scientist was electrocuted a few months later repeating the experiment, so don't try it. Lightning kills.)  Source: Lightning Image Sensor Launched
• The Francis M. Rogallo world in NASA provides a wide garden for "kite" matters.
• Gliding parachutes are kite systems; the payload is the resistive set; the lines to the canopy are the tether set; the canopy wing is the member of the upper-wing set.
