    Carmera phones

    In the 1990s, a team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory(JPL) worked to create cameras

    small enough to fit on spacecrafts. Now lots of cameras use this technology, which makes camera phones possible.

    Memory foarm(记忆海绵)

    It was developed by NASA in the'1970s to help make pilots' seats more comfortable.
