@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO Invisible Braces: The translucent ceramic material used to make clear orthodontics (like Invisalign) was originally developed by NASA as a tough, transparent material to protect the infrared antennae on heat-seeking missile trackers.

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO If we hadn't funded the space program, or if we had waited decades to try, we would be missing—or severely delayed in getting—a massive amount of the technology that powers the modern world. Here is a look at what would be missing from your life without NASA's R&D:

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO satellites.

Infrared Ear Thermometers: The technology used in those thermometers that measure your body temperature in seconds without touching you? It was originally developed by NASA to measure the temperature of distant stars and planets using infrared astronomy.

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO The Tech Saving Lives

LASIK Eye Surgery: The precise laser tracking technology used by eye surgeons today to reshape corneas without damaging the eye was originally developed by NASA to track the eyes of astronauts in zero gravity and to help spacecraft autonomously dock with

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO an astronaut's helmet visor. NASA developed a special diamond-hard coating for their aerospace equipment. The optical industry quickly adopted this, and today, the vast majority of eyeglasses and sunglasses are treated with this NASA-derived scratch-resistant coating.

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO recycle water. The copper-silver ionization technology they developed is now widely used in household water filters, disaster-relief efforts, and cooling towers worldwide.

Scratch-Resistant Eyeglasses: The space environment is full of dirt and particles that can easily scratch

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO and atmospheric reentry. The result was temper foam, now known commercially as memory foam.

Household Water Filters: Because it costs thousands of dollars to launch a single gallon of water into space, Apollo engineers had to create advanced, lightweight systems to purify and

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO Memory Foam: You can thank the space program for your mattress or your favorite pair of sneakers. In 1966, NASA commissioned researchers to create a material that would better absorb shock and keep test pilots and astronauts cushioned during the extreme G-forces of launch

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO battery-powered drill so astronauts could take core samples on the moon. The computer programs and battery-optimization technology developed during that project directly led to the creation of the famous "Dustbuster" handheld vacuum and revolutionized modern cordless tools.

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO and the navigation apps we use every day.

The Tech in Your Home

Cordless Vacuums & Refined Power Tools: Black & Decker invented the first cordless drill, but they partnered heavily with NASA during the Apollo program to create a specialized, zero-torque,

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO Modern GPS & Satellite Communications: While the military played a huge role in GPS, NASA's early launches of communication and weather satellites built the foundational infrastructure for modern telecommunications, satellite TV, global logistics,

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO They invented the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) active pixel sensor. Today, CMOS sensors are used in almost every digital camera, smartphone, and medical imaging device on the planet.

@RealTimers @billmaher @HBO The Tech in Your Pocket

Your Smartphone Camera: If you take photos with a phone, you are using NASA technology. In the 1990s, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) needed to drastically shrink camera sizes for interplanetary spacecraft without losing image quality.
