Description
Why go into space when we have so many problems here on Earth? Applications of technology needed for space flight have produced over 2,000 space “spin-offs” (commercial technologies or devices) that have improved our human productivity, lifestyle, and safety. Our modern lives have come to depend on these medical and technological breakthroughs that have come from NASA’s space research. Transforming these innovations from outer space into cutting-edge products and services has boosted our economy, protected our planet, and saved lives: e.g., new ways to grow food for a burgeoning population, to clean pollution, and to help fight the coronavirus. It’s almost impossible to find an area in our everyday life that has not been improved thanks to space science. Join me to learn about some of these amazing technologies that benefit society.
