I’m also excited about these modules, probably in part because mission control for Bigelow’s adventures in space is here in my state.

The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), is expected to launch for a two-year mission in April 2016.

Advances made by NASA , that knowledge belongs to the American people to use. We have benefited financially, intellectually, and sociologically. The whole world is better off with space research and development.

]]>Eleanor Bailey I am aware of that.. Part of why NASA was not cut out completely ages ago was the fact that facilities were scattered all over the country as well…. That being said, individual patents are still the property of their respective holders.. Cell phones were a private adaption of a tech that came from the world war era.. And global positioning satilites were from the us military. Water filters also predate the space program, they just come into prominence in the closed space of the ships. The computers that went to the moon didn’t have anywhere near the calculation power in my hands right now, solar panels, again, were not specifically designed for space..

]]>Yvonne Thompson microprocessor tech, is used in the phones we we use now. The computers used on Mars rovers have to be robust to survive the journey, therefore simple and well built. Microcomputers, software, microelectromechanical systems were all created from tech. developed from NASA. Fire suppression equip. Used in aircraft and by racecar drivers developed from NASA. Freeze dried food, Commercial businesses have developed equipment under contract by NASA for NASA, that had commercial application. Where do you think Intel got their initial funding to developed the integrated circuit? That first ones were developed for the appolo missions.Bell labs produced solar cells for space use in 1953. ( even though the photovoltaic effect was discovered in 1839.) Its first practical use was in space. To separate the military uses and NASA and satellites is not logical. The space race started as a military endeavour. The tech from NASA research is available to the private sector. It is licensed on a case by case basis. We get much for our tax dollars from space research.

]]>look, i already know that the space program was a place where tech developed to a beter place, i don’t care about the details about the increase, i’m flat out telling you that. here you want the details? or do you want to continue to feel smarter than someone?
i’ll start with the freeze dried foods… The process of lyophilisation was invented in 1906 by Arsène d’Arsonval and his assistant F. Bordas at the laboratory of biophysics of Collège de France in Paris.[1][2] However, dehydration was already used by the Indians in the Andes in the 13th century to make chuño.
cell phones:
The Second World War made military use of radio telephony links. Hand-held radio transceivers have been available since the 1940s. Mobile telephones for automobiles became available from some telephone companies in the 1940s. Early devices were bulky, consumed high power, and the network supported only a few simultaneous conversations. Modern cellular networks allow automatic and pervasive use of mobile phones for voice and data communications.
In the United States, engineers from Bell Labs began work on a system to allow mobile users to place and receive telephone calls from automobiles, leading to the inauguration of mobile service on 17 June 1946 in St. Louis, Missouri. Shortly after, AT&T offered Mobile Telephone Service. A wide range of mostly incompatible mobile telephone services offered limited coverage area and only a few available channels in urban areas. The introduction of cellular technology, which allowed re-use of frequencies many times in small adjacent areas covered by relatively low powered transmitters, made widespread adoption of mobile telephones economically feasible.
One of the earliest fictional descriptions of a mobile phone can be found in the 1948 science fiction novel Space Cadet by Robert Heinlein. The protagonist, who has just traveled to Colorado from his home in Des Moines, receives a call from his father on a pocket telephone. Before going to space he decides to ship the telephone home “since it was limited by its short range to the neighborhood of an earth-side [i.e. terrestrial] relay office.” Ten years later, an essay by Arthur C. Clarke envisioned a “personal transceiver, so small and compact that every man carries one.” He wrote: “the time will come when we will be able to call a person anywhere on Earth merely by dialing a number.” Such a device would also, in Clarke’s vision, include means for global positioning so that “no one need ever again be lost.” Later, in Profiles of the Future, he predicted the advent of such a device taking place in the mid-1980s.[7] U.S. TV series Get Smart (1965-1970) depicted spy gadgets with mobile telephones concealed in random objects, including shoes.
computer chips:
On March 24, 1959, at the Institute of Radio Engineers’ annual trade show in the New York Coliseum, Texas Instruments, one of the nation’s leading electronics firms, introduced a new device that would change the world as profoundly as any invention of the 20th century—the solid integrated circuit, or, as it came to be called, the microchip.

]]>and photovoltaic cells… he year is 1956, and the first solar cells are available commercially. The cost however is far from the reach of everyday people. At $300 for a 1 watt solar cell, the expense was far beyond anyone’s means. 1956 started showing us the first solar cells used in toys and radios. These novelty items were the first item to have solar cells available to consumers.In the late 1950’s and early 1960’s satellites in the USA’s and Soviet’s space program were powered by solar cells and in the late 1960’s solar power was basically the standard for powering space bound satellites. not developed for space. used in space…

]]>Your first post seemed to be a complaint about the cost. If I’m preaching to the choir I apologize! I certainly don’t feel superior. I grew up with the space program. My dad bought me sticker books about The space program in 1962. I just consider myself an ardent enthusiast. I think the spending gets a bad rap.
