NASA Spinoffs
Bringing Space down to Earth

"Some of the most frequently asked questions about the U.S. space program are 'Why go into space when we have so many problems here on Earth?' and 'What does the space program do for me?' These are legitimate questions and unfortunately not enough people have been made aware of the vast benefits the space program provides that increase the quality of our daily lives. Applications on Earth of technology needed for space flight have produced thousands of 'spinoffs' that contribute to improving national security, the economy, productivity and lifestyle. It is almost impossible to find an area of everyday life that has not been improved by these spinoffs. Collectively, these secondary applications represent a substantial return on the national investment in aerospace research. We should be spending more."
