Do some research into the type of computers the shuttles use - finest 1970s technology still in use by the space program.
Nylon and fiberglass came from NASA? Yeah, right. Nylon was invented by DuPont scientists in 1930 as a polymer based silk substitute. Mind telling me what NASA was doing in 1930 with nylon? LOL. And modern fiberglass was invented as insulation in 1938 or so. The false idea of technology "spinoffs" from NASA are just a PR campaign. Pretty successful too, since no one seems to back up their claims with facts.
