This review is from: Scientific American: Inventions from Outer Space: Everyday Uses for NASA Technology (Hardcover)
I saw this book for the first time at the KSC Main Shop ten years ago. I didn't bought it and I have always regretted. The book is still very good, even in 2012. Very colorful, very well done, one of the best in this category.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Scientific American: Inventions from Outer Space: Everyday Uses for NASA Technology (Hardcover)
What is fascinating about this book is the surprisingly unglamourous uses to which NASA technology has been put: it's not tricorders or machines that vanquish your foe with a directional pulse of pure energy that have trickled onto the terrestrial market, but heat resistant paint and non-stick coating for frying pans. Which is probably no bad thing. All in all an excellent read.
