While NASA’s main purpose is to better understand the universe and develop technology to do so more easily, many items in your household could very well be adaptations of NASA technology. When the scientists working in the sports industry figured out what they needed to make a product better, they came to the conclusion that looking at the research NASA did was the right thing to do, and it was. Within a week of the launch of the Speedo LZR Racer, three world record times were broken by swimmers wearing it. If NASA had not discovered the technology which has advanced many different sports, they would be very different today.
