NASA scientists are said to have invented a lot of household items over the decades. Some, like Velcro, or Tang, or the first cordless power tools, are misattributions. But other claims are totally legit. And you probably own at least one of those spinoff technologies right now.

imagine what nasa could do with the military's budget

So...if I rip up the walls I can find cotton candy, a shiny blanket, AND piss off the land lord? Win win win!😅

To steal from Monty Python: "Apart from all of those things, what has NASA ever done for us, eh???"

Giving Hank a second camera to stare down was the best decision. Also the new practical set is great.

My solar guy explained the reason my attic looks like the old TV dinner trays was NASA tech; now I've got a proper name for it, radiant barriers, thanks

Proof that some of the best innovation is not driven by corporate profit-seeking. This is why we need our government to continue funding NASA and other scientific organizations.

Very impressed that seals can regulate temperatures between -200 to +200.

NASA is a pretty good investment if you look at society as a whole. I remember reading about how one single technology developed for Hubble made some form of surgery cheaper and the savings from just that one thing could quickly pay for the entire telescope.

HANK why are you not wearing your NASA jacket for this video?!?!?! Missed opportunity!
-
butt.. if i’m going to die when i hit the ground maybe i want the chair foam to immortalize my butt impression for future generations

The US Military's budget in 1958 & 1959, the first two years of NASA's existence, were both a bit over $350 billion, not adjusted for inflation, for a total of just over $700 billion. We've only spent $650 billion on NASA in total from 1958 to this year's budget.

Our landlord doesn't even want to pull up the floor themselves, even when it's rotting and needs replaced, so ...

Ok nasa .. I want my stargate now

Fiberglass. The snack that bites you back

NASA does not really avoid insulation because of bulk an weight. Convection is just not a factor in space, so filling walls with cotton doesn't do anything. An addition to CMOS sensors: CMOS is not limited to photo sensor application; The techology has also given us less power hungry electronic circuits in general.

The underfloor foil at 2:57 is banned in New Zealand after multiple fatalities from electrocution.

The thermal blankets pictured are so effective that their wearers are smiling happily and the frozen wasteland they were trapped in has turned into a lush green meadow.

We can thank space exploration for many of the conveniences and comforts that we enjoy today. I say keep experimenting. More great things may still come from it.

Thanks SciShow for making Science easy!
