MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Everyday items you can thank NASA for inventing

It’s no secret that some of the brightest people on earth work for NASA. We all know they can build spaceships, rockets, and fancy space suits. But who knew they are to thank for a lot of the things we use in life every single day!

Some of the many products that came from NASA inventions are memory foam, freeze-dried food, smoke detectors, water filters, joysticks, cordless tools, and satellite TV.

So thank you smart people of NASA for all of these things. Amazing!
