Scientific American: Inventions from Outer Space: Everyday Uses for NASA Technology Baker, David, Scientific American brings outerspace to earth Over 60 consumer products -- from dustbuster vacuums to CAT scans -- trace their roots to NASA's scientific inventions for space applications. Vividly illustrated profiles of each show how the science was developed, and how it's put to work everyday on earth. Outer space may be the final frontier, but the technology developed for use there is also finding a home here on Earth. Did you know: -- The quick-drying paint developed to protect the Apollo launch pad was recently used to give the Statue of Liberty a makeover? (The paint can withstand sudden temperature changes without cracking -- which was as important to protect the launch pad against thermal shock as it is to protect Lady Liberty against seaspray and fog.) -- The super-ceramics developed to keep the Space Shuttle cool on the inside are now used in our cars' catalytic converters and in replacement hip joints and heart valves? -- The athletic shoes on the market today utilize designs originally developed for space suits? Some of the world's most familiar consumer products and processes are derived from NASA technology. This compendium of successful spin-offs will intrigue any science or technology buff. Vividly designed spreads illustrate the inventions' use in space and on earth, with clear diagrams explaining how each works. Organization by subject -- Health and Medicine, Home and Recreation, Energy and Environment, and more -- and "See also" cross-referencing allow the reader to understand how inventions are interconnected, and how NASA's labs affect our everyday life.

astronomy and space science,astrophysics and space science,history and philosophy,physics,science and math,technology, What do thermal gloves, robot hands, and cleaner jet engines have in common? They were all developed thanks, in part, to the American space program and its commitment to sharing research with the private sector. Inventions from Outer Space: Everyday Uses for NASA Technology is a flashy but informative overview of the products and processes that owe their existence to our pursuit of the final frontier. Author David Baker has worked with NASA on and off for 30 years, and he knows how to capture the most compelling aspects of seemingly dry topics like component testing, so they can compete fairly with sci-fi concepts like self-healing computers. Not everything you'd expect to find is in the book's 128 pages (where are Tang and Space Food Sticks?), but the many surprises, such as more comfortable beds, make for better reading than the same old stories. The book's design borrows from high-tech magazines like Wired pretty heavily, but does so without sacrificing readability. Each invention gets a two-page spread with a brief overview, several illustrations, and a generous description of the technology and its development. Boisterously pro-space and pro-tech, Inventions from Outer Space inspires surprise and awe even in the technophobic--the next time someone complains about NASA's budget, you can point to their gloves and say: "They came from outer space!" --Rob Lightner
