You know what bugs me? When I hear people talking about NASA, and how we should abolish the space program because it doesn't do anything for us, blah fucking blah. Hell, just a few weeks ago, when they discovered ice crystals on Mars, I saw someone say something like "Why do we give a fuck about Mars when we have our infrastructure to worry about? Why do we continue to sink money into that bottomless pit?" (Ironically, the guy was totally pro-Iraq-war. Hello, not seeing the "real" bottomless pit)
I'm glad someone finally did an article like this. I'm sure there are more than 50 giant leaps, but it's nice to have some kind of starter. So here we go:
50 years, 50 giant leaps: How NASA rocked our world
So, if you still think NASA is a waste of time and/or money, then get a clue. NASA has a much bigger impact on technology than you think.

Man, where was this article like 15 years ago? I did a speech in jr. high about saving the NASA program and all the awesome things they're responsible for in our daily lives - this article could have been my whole speech! Also, yay NASA!

Personally, I'm fascinated with NASA. And yeah, millions spent on space missions are better spend than on the war.
