A (very) few spin-offs:

	o Computer chips

	o Solar cells

	o Communication satellites

	o Weather satellites

	o Remote sensing satellites

	o Spy satellites

	o Velcro

	o Pacemaker parts

	o The material for the doors on my wood stove

	o Special purpose protective gear for football players

	o Fire fighting equipment

Every year NASA puts out a book called 'SPINOFFS 19??' listing hundreds
of spinoffs.  The things listed above NASA either did or had a major
influence on.
