NASA has given us many a thing over the last few decades.

Technological advancements, they took us to the doggone moon.

But what if I told you?

Velcro.

You know what?

You're tracking right along with me there, Steve.

The men's room top 10.

I know.

The minorsup top 10.

NASA inventions we use every day.

NASA focuses considerable effort addressing pressure and viscous drag.

That's the force of friction that slows down a moving object through a substance like air or water or other organic tubes and perhaps tunnels.

I too have been experimenting in the field of fluid dynamics since I was 12.

One globule at a time.

God. Thank you, VD. Okay. So these are NASA inventions that we use each and every day that you might not have known came from NASA. Home insulation.

You guys know that that came from NASA. Closely related to the insulative properties of the space blankets is the use of the NASA technology in home insulation.

Many companies make radiant barrier styles of insulation based on the technology first developed in the late 60s to help insulate Apollo-era astronauts from the temperature extremes of space.

Yeah, it's like, what, three to five degrees warmer than absolute zero in the vacuum of space.

And when you put them in metal tube, they're like, it's cold.

Absolutely.

So that came up with insulation, and then it's a cheap, effectively to keep things warm.
