Una buena selección de grandes descubrimientos o mejoras que los científicos de la NASA han puesto a disposición de la humanidad.
Air-cushioned trainers – In the early 1980s, a process known as “blow rubber moulding” was used to produce space helmets. Using this technology, former Nasa engineer Frank Rudy pitched an idea for an in-trainer shock absorber to the Nike Corporation.

Rudy’s idea included a pad of interconnected air cells and the resulting trainer was called the Nike Air.
