Science! It’s Neat!
I always love those stories where we find out something that was invented for space actually became a real useful tool in regular society. Like Tang. I guess someone invented it for the Astronauts and then they discovered, hey, that’s also a great way to cure the thirst ills of all mankind! Or like Viagra, it was originally intended to keep space monkeys alive, but then one night a scientist was feeling wild and took one for a kick and discovered it keeps your jimmy stiffy for a jiffy.
(I can’t believe I just typed that.)
At any rate, I love this story about how a government science lab that invented a new way of making a foam that protects electronics in nuclear weapons may be a savior to the world wide surf board community. Seriously.
See, nuclear is good! If you combined nuclear power with chicks in bathing suits, damn, I’d say build four reactors in my backyard. That would be rad!
