The VerySpatial blog points us to an article and flash demonstration site showing things in our daily lives discovered or advanced by NASA. It's worth a look to see how space technology trickles down into our everyday life. From their summary :
"NASA has posted a pretty cool new site to help people understand how they have impacted everyone’s life in so many ways. It’s called NASA @ Home and City. They’re want to remind everyone that they’re not just about “space”. While a lot of their technologies really aren’t spatial (cosmetics, for example), there is an impressive display of geographic related materials they have impacted. Stuff from environmental cleanup and monitoring to simply travel technologies."
