A World Without NASA
When most people hear the term NASA, they think of rockets and exploration of the universe. But in fact, entire facets of our daily lives are powered by the results of space race technology. From AI in dating apps to GPS, food safety, self-driving cars, tracking endangered species, fire safety, and safety on the very surfaces we walk upon. NASA has impacted our lives in ways we can't even conceive. Explore technologies we take for granted in our day-to-day existence, tracing their roots back to the quest for the stars, and imagine our world… had it never happened.
