Space Tech on Earth: Everyday Innovations That Started in NASA Labs
It’s easy to think of NASA as a place where brilliant minds solve distant problems—getting rovers to Mars, sending astronauts beyond Earth’s orbit, building telescopes that peer into the beginnings of the universe. But the truth is, the ripple effects of space exploration reach far beyond the launchpad. Some of the most grounded parts of your day—your phone’s camera, your mattress, even the insulation in your house—are thanks, in part, to the same ingenuity that got us to the moon.
