NASA invents rad stuff all the time to be used in space. Its a proven fact. Whether it is due to some sort of awesome coincidence or the fact that good engineering is good engineering, a lot of these inventions are also used in many everyday situations by regular non-astronauts like you and me. NASA has an interactive website showing where and how this occurs called NASA Home and City. Pretty cool, if you ask me. But then again, if you ask me about anything NASA related, I would say the same thing.

If you spend enough money on research, you are bound to come up with something. However, what inventions will we never know about because the money to fund them was stolen from taxpayers? I am certain that private investors would have spent their own money more efficiently than bureaucrats doling it out to crony government contractors. We will never know what a free people could have invented in a free and competitive market.
