Dehydrated foods were one of the great creations of the space race. This type of food remained nutritious and allowed the astronauts to stay strong, but since all the water was removed, these foods weighed only 20 percent of their original weight, facilitating transport and storage.
Velcro was also created by NASA during the space race. The purpose of Velcro was to facilitate the moment when astronauts had to wear their clothes in environments with very low gravity.
