There are so many things in our day-to-day lives that we take for granted that got their start as part of humanity's greatest endeavor - exploring the universe. Before memory foam mattresses carried you off to sleep, they were the lining of pilot seats for NASA's jet planes and even the space shuttle, the best Speedo bathing suit got its start in a wind tunnel, and the jaws of life that firefighters might use to open wrecked car doors first were used separating spacecraft. Join Kovi and Benjamin as they talk about how space inventions help us down here on Earth.
