How
NASA
inventions
impact
our
lives
The
National
Aeronautics
and
Space
Administration
has
created
many
really
amazing
inventions
since
it
was
founded
in
1958
.
They
have
developed
an
assortment
of
technologies
to
solve
problems
for
astronauts
in
space
that
we
find
useful
here
on
earth
.
Using
scientists
from
different
fields
such
as
astronomy
,
physics
,
chemistry
,
biology
,
engineering
,
and
mechanics
,
they
work
together
to
issues
.
In
fact
,
NASA
has
a
Technology
Utilization
Program
that
helps
companies
develop
space
technology
into
products
that
anyone
can
buy
.
Out
of
every
1
,
000
patents
?
the
legal
right
to
make
or
sell
a
product
?
that
are
given
in
the
U
.
S
.
,
one
is
for
a
NASA
project
.
Below
is
a
list
of
some
well
known
ones
.
Let's
see
how
many
you
recognize
.
?
Memory
foam
:
Do
you
have
a
nice
bed
?
You
can
thank
NASA
for
memory
foam
mattresses
and
pillows
,
which
they
designed
for
crash
protection
for
pilots
and
passengers
and
to
make
long
journeys
more
comfortable
.
Since
then
,
memory
foam
has
been
used
in
helmets
,
shoes
,
amusement
park
rides
,
furniture
,
and
even
NASCAR
seats
.
?
Freeze
drying
:
One
of
the
concerns
NASA
had
for
its
astronauts
on
the
Apollo
missions
was
food
.
They
developed
a
technique
called
freeze
drying
,
which
involved
cooking
food
,
freezing
it
very
quickly
,
and
then
removing
the
ice
crystals
.
The
food
keeps
98
percent
of
its
nutrition
,
but
only
20
percent
of
the
weight
.
?
Water
purification
:
For
the
astronauts
to
in
space
,
they
need
access
to
regular
clean
water
.
The
scientists
in
the
1970s
made
iodine
cartridges
to
filter
the
water
.
But
these
days
,
they
have
created
an
even
more
amazing
system
of
filtering
water
?
from
human
respiration
,
sweat
,
and
urine
!
These
water
filters
are
important
in
areas
of
the
world
where
there
is
little
clean
water
or
where
,
such
as
hurricanes
or
earthquakes
,
have
occurred
.
?
Petroleum
remediation
:
This
is
a
product
that
NASA
developed
to
help
clean
up
oil
spills
in
the
oceans
.
They
are
tiny
balls
made
from
beeswax
with
a
little
hole
in
the
center
.
The
water
cannot
go
into
the
ball
,
but
the
oil
can
and
it
after
some
time
.
Nowadays
,
the
tiny
balls
can
be
used
to
clean
up
oil
spills
in
car
washes
,
parking
garages
,
train
tracks
,
or
even
in
your
home
where
your
heating
oil
is
kept
.
?
Medical
devices
:
The
WARP
10
is
a
small
LED
device
that
helps
people
who
have
muscle
problems
.
It
is
being
used
by
soldiers
who
have
small
and
pains
when
they
are
at
war
.
The
WARP
75
is
used
by
people
who
have
received
bone
marrow
transplants
and
Parkinson's
Disease
.
NASA
was
also
involved
in
the
development
of
the
insulin
pump
and
the
infrared
ear
thermometer
.
So
,
do
you
have
any
products
developed
by
NASA
in
your
home
?
Let's
check
what
you
remember
!
