Vents: Random Acts of Venting!

[The Troll]

Here's a couple more pedestrian (and very common) products that come from the space program: Velcro and ABS plastic.   

And here are some more: Dustbuster, shock-absorbing helmets, home security systems, smoke detectors, flat panel televisions, high-density batteries, trash compactors, food packaging and freeze-dried technology, cool sportswear, sports bras, hair styling appliances, fogless ski goggles, self-adjusting sunglasses, composite golf clubs, hang gliders, art preservation, and quartz crystal timing equipment.

Yeah, I'd say the Troll is wrong.

  Your saying all of the above were found and invented on the International Space Station.  I just plain don't believe it.  You're telling me that these things couldn't have been not invented on the ground.  At a far cheaper cost.

  NASA has invented one fine group of products.  But if you look, practically every one of those inventions are now being produced over seas.  We paid the money and the foreigners are making the money off of them.

  Bless poor Uncle Sap,(Sam)  Always letting the corporations screw us.  Every time.

Ya'll have probably heard the anecdote about NASA spending thousands of dollars to develop a "Space Pen." Just for shiggles, here's the real story.

Troll, there were many things invented on the first space station for the long travel from earth to this planet before the impact. Remember just before the earth was destroyed and they split us into two groups? One group was deemed too emotionally fragile to learn the truth or lacked the intelligence to understand what had to be done so they were hypnotized and to this day aren't even aware that we spent a year traveling to this habitable planet. You know, the ones we call the idiots!

Thousands of improvements to everyday tasks and entertainment, as well as safety advancements in thousands of products.

Too numerous.

Does the question even need to be asked?

  The most stupid question asked, is the question no asked.  Got one for that one.

Don't ask. . .don't tell!

If you don't like the answer, don't ask the question.

My roommate has 3 outside cats that live on my front porch.  This morning at 4:30AM, they were fighting with a neighbor cat.  I've been awake ever since.

  Another dumbass post, just what I've talked about your constantly posting.  Nobody, has gave me any answer that makes sense but Lolly.  Nobody has told what the space station has produced, just what NASA has invented and produced.  Just like all of the things NASA produced for going to the moon, is being made over seas.  Also if you haven't noticed that we are no longer taking Astonuates to the space station.  Just the Russians.
 
  I don't know why you continue to treat any of my post with such smart ass remarks,  unless you are a smartass, dumbass.  If that is the reason, I will just consider the source and take a little salt and go on considering the source.

   I waiting for another of your great posts to me and other people.  Most likely is will tell me that you're a exfootball playing Purdue college graduate.  Who play with his helmet off to many times.

Wrong about so many things.

If you want to know what the space station and other parts of the space program have produced, I quote "Goggle it." Do the research. Lolly was kind enough to start you out. Continue it.

Next, I never went to Purdue. Only said I had a blind date there. But, like so many other posts from so many other posters, you leap light years to conclusions and then make snide and nasty remarks. Then you excuse yourself 'cuz you're a crusty old hillbilly with money (or some such convoluted reasoning that makes absolutely no sense at all except to you, in order to get yourself off the hook). Then you get pissed if someone doesn't buy into your charm. Every post that you don't agree with, don't understand, or criticizes you in the least, you dismiss as "dumbass." (Methinks you use the word too often on others.) Except for the ones that go by.

Like I said, if you don't like the answer, don't ask the question. You asked for it. You got it. Now you don't like it. Too bad.

Live with it. 

Or else, think about the language you're using and the way you intentionally rub others the wrong way.

Nah. That'll take too much introspection. And you're so old, you don't have time for that.
