I don't know what the maximum length of a WikiAnswers post is, but I guarantee that a complete listing of all NASA spinoffs would be longer.

Just the highlights, you say? OK.

  • Computers.
  • Weather forecasting using satellite photos. Remember that before satellites, hurricanes used to hit the coast with hardly any warning at all.
  • Medical sensor technology.
  • Cell phones
  • GPS.
  • Decent maps.
  • Long-distance telephone calls.
  • Live coast-to-coast television
  • Overseas live TV

What items that were developed for use in space but also have used on earth called?

Items developed for use in space that have also found applications on Earth are known as "spinoffs" or "space spinoffs." These innovations often arise from technology originally designed for space missions but are adapted for commercial use, improving everyday life. Examples include advancements in materials, telecommunications, and medical technologies, such as memory foam and water purification systems.

How can most of the population be ignorant or doesn't care about space or universe at all when it has such big benefits both for science and social life?

People who are concerned with making a living often find it difficult to think that something "out there" might make a difference in their lives. Farmers, for example, are focused on their farms and their crops - without understanding that the weather forecasts they rely on are a product of the space program. Musicians only want to think about their music - without realizing that the electronics in their amplifiers and their iPods are a direct result of the microminiaturization that was developed in ballistic missile technology and nuclear weapons. 99% of all modern medical technologies are spinoffs of the computer developments, and all modern telecommunications depends on satellites. But because it is taken for granted, they can ignore the source of the technological marvels.
