Progress from Space
In case you're wondering why we need to send up a Space Shuttle again, here's a couple sites devoted to the good that's come from the research done by NASA: NASA Spinoffs, from The Space Place website, lists inventions that couldn't have happened without space voyages. Included: computer technology, home improvements, health, clothing, and lots more. here are a couple you might never have guessed:
GOLF BALL AERODYNAMICS - A recently designed golf ball, which has 500 dimples arranged in a pattern of 60 spherical triangles, employs NASA aerodynamics technology to create a more symmetrical ball surface, sustaining initial velocity longer and producing a more stable ball flight for better accuracy and distance. Also, NASA has a magazine called Spinoff which is devoted to this sort of technology and has lots of links to sites which highlight this technology.
