Our reciprocal relationship with NASA and its technologies are more helpful than harmful to our life. The work of NASA makes us understand the earth we live and even their technologies allow us to see how the world and space look even if we just see from the screen.
But, not many people knew that some innovation that become common things in our daily life was affected by space technology. One of them is the baby formula; when NASA was researching the algae potential as the agent of recycling for long-duration space travel, they found out that nutrient-rich algae contained Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Arachidonic Acid (ARA) which is an excellent dietary supplement for the development of mental and visual of an infant. Imagine how much people were helped by these discoveries because a lot of mothers couldn't breastfeed their babies and needed baby formula. Moreover, don’t forget the internet we use today also came from the space technology of NASA.
