One of the most notable inventions NASA included in its spacesuits was its special 3D 'spacer' material in the boots forcushioning and ventilation. Used to give astronauts better control, agility and longevity while on their feet, the lunar boot was an overshoe that slipped on over the integr...
Four months later, theShenzhou-11 manned spacecraft was launched and docked with Tiangong-2 where the two astronauts lived for 33 days. Aerospace innovation has direct benefits in people's everyday lives, with over 2,000 aerospace inventions used in various sectors to promote social and economic...
None of these things would be possible — and few, if any, would be affordable — without the nation's space program. Indeed, before these things became part of everyday life, they were the stuff of science fiction — props used by astronauts in"2001: A Space Odyssey,"among other films...
By analyzing different layers of subsequent technological inventions, much like geological strata, the works in this exhibition elucidate new relations and previously obscured correlations that tell a new story about how we got here. Together, the artists draw a critical and alternative cartography of...
It was used to study the composition of rocks and found molecules (分子) which contain oxygen. The rover’s 13 in Mars’rocks tells scientists that at some 14 in Mars’past, there was a lot of oxygen in the atmosphere, which is a 15 for most life.Do you know what most living ...
could use science fiction for similar purposes, either in the development of technological inventions – the Star Trek Communicator which is today present in everyday life as our mobile phones, is a classic example – or in the use of science fiction to reflect critically about current societies...

inventions and innovations but at no point are everyday people given a chance to evaluate the purpose, value, or potential consequences (good or bad)—not even elected representatives in government are given the opportunity. Any effort to address the consequences of a given technology or invention...
