One of the most well known is probably Velcro or Hook And Loop. The astronauts in the lunar lander had this on their boots to hold them to the floor in the low gravity. Additionally, advances in solar cells, spurred by the space program, has led to a thriving solar industry on Earth. Many medical advances can be attributed to the space program, such as the use of the MRI and CAT scanning machines, which use imaging technology invented by NASA's JPL division.
Some inventions made popular by NASA that are now used in everyday life include memory foam (originally developed for astronaut seats), invisible braces (inspired by spacecraft ceramics), and scratch-resistant lenses (developed for astronaut visors). Additionally, technology such as satellite communications, water filtration systems, and cordless power tools have been improved by NASA research.
The pocket compass is most useful for those adventurous people who do mountain or forest exploration, mountain climbing, hiking or when one is lost in the dessert.
The astrolabe is useful in sea exploration because it allows navigators to determine their latitude by measuring the angle of celestial bodies above the horizon. This capability is crucial for sailors to chart their course accurately and ensure they remain on track during long voyages. Additionally, the astrolabe's portability and relative simplicity made it an essential tool for maritime navigation before the advent of modern instruments. Overall, it significantly enhanced the safety and efficiency of sea travel.
Immediate goals of space exploration include: furthering scientific research and discovery, expanding human presence beyond Earth, developing technologies for sustainable space travel, and exploring the potential for resources in space.
Robots are very limited, very inflexible. They are only useful for dealing with the known; they cannot improvise. The Apollo astronauts returned over 840 pounds of moon rock. It would have taken hundreds or even thousands of robot missions to do as much.

They typically aren't useful in your everyday life unless your job requires them.
Some useful inventions include the wheel, which revolutionized transportation and machinery; the printing press, which enabled the mass production of books and dissemination of knowledge; and the internet, which has transformed communication, research, and commerce on a global scale. These inventions have significantly impacted human society and continue to shape the way we live and interact with the world.

Inventions can only be useful when they are filling a need. As an example if Shakespeare has invented the computer he would have has to wait for someone to develop an electrical power supply, plazics, discover are earths for the electrons, programming and a lot of other things before they were capable of being produced.
it's very useful to every day life..........
There is a few inventions that are not very useful. The most known invention that is not useful is the toilet paper roller.
The model T was one of the most useful inventions of all time. They were used for everything by everyone
yes
rocks and minerals

A good invention is something that is very useful and needed by the consumer. Advancements in older inventions are always useful as well.
