:Spinoffs Definition A independent company created from an existing part of another company through a

divestiture, such as a sale or distribution of new shares.

Overall Concept of NASA SpinoffsThousands of spinoffs have been produced, they contribute to improve national security, the economy, productivity and lifestyle. It’s practically impossible to find a c0mmunity of everyday life that hasn’t been improved by these spinoffs.

First Advantage -Cheap - 0.8% less than is spent on the space

.program - 1 Basically less than penny out of every

.dollar spent - Average Americans spend more money on

, , cable eating or other sorts of.entertainment

Second AdvantageEnriched Baby foods A microalgae based, vegetable-like oil called formulaid developed from NASA’s sponsored research, contains two fundamental fatty acids found in human milk, but not in most baby formulas. It is believed to be important for infants mental and visual development.

Third AdvantagePool Purification

Space technology designed a way to sterilizing their water on their long space expeditions. This also applied to swimming pool purification which led to a system that uses two silver-copper alloy electrodes that generate silver and copper ions. Then an electric current passes through them to kill bacteria and algae without chemicals.

Fourth AdvantageRadiation Insulation

Aluminized polymer film is highly effective radiation with the variations of this space-devised material are also used as an energy protection method for homes offices. The materials are placed between wall studs and exterior facing before siding or between roof support and roof sheathing which blocks 95% of radiant energy.

Fifth AdvantageBreast Cancer

A solar cell is located directly beneath x-ray film, and determines exactly when film has received enough radiation and has been exposed to best possible density. Associated electronic equipment then sends a signal to cut off the x-ray source. Reduction of mammography x-ray exposures reduces radiation risk and doubles the number of patient exams per machine.

Relations There are many relations between the movie October Sky and technological

advances. Why were the teens in the movie so thrilled with space? Was it because they felt they could make a difference? Or was it because they knew there was something more out there, something beyond what the human eye can see? Whatever there reason was it’s essential to understand how many opportunities people like them have opened that could possibly make vast differences. As previously informed our world has already been improved, whether it’s with computer technology, consumer/home/recreation, environmental and resource management, health and medicine, industrial productivity, or simply just public safety. If the people of this decade could just donate a small portion of there income each year for further research in space. I’m sure in the future it will be worth the wild. NASA just needs a chance to prove the majority of the world there right, there is further research to find out. Same as the boy on the movie, all he needed was a chance to be believed.
