Hi, there was a recent special on modern technologies that were the result of the space program. Some such as the Mylar heat blankets used for emergency warmth and heat shielding for fire fighters. Others involve communication technology that we take for granted now. Satellite weather forecasting, aerogel heat resistant compounds, aspects of robotics, and lots of others. It may be expensive, but we enjoy the fruits every day.
