Nice article to inform the masses about the "side" benefits of space exploration. I'd be willing to bet some poster down the line will try to tell us it's all fake, and they'll use their computers and satellite connection to say so.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ZaZapper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2009 11:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Popular Products Developed by NASA Scientists]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Once more a pitiful attempt to justify the inflated NASA budget. We're not saying eliminate the scientist. We are saying let someone other than the taxpayer fund the  science. I was brainwashed along with many others by dehydrated ice cream and space camp movies. I now say let other countries waste their resources to go to the moon. Let's employ ours here. By all means put the NASA's brain trust on the development of more efficient energy options and let private industry fund them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[N8]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2009 3:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Popular Products Developed by NASA Scientists]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Once more a pitiful attempt to justify the inflated NASA budget.<br>We're not saying eliminate the scientist.

This is the environment that NASA scientists and engineers are faced with and is the reason why NASA has been at the forefront of technology.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[raykumba]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2009 6:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Popular Products Developed by NASA Scientists]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, that space pen was great, for about $5000 I think. Invented to write upside down. But the Russians already figured out what to use to write upside down. It was a PENCIL!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[McDuffik49]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 15th 2009 10:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Popular Products Developed by NASA Scientists]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[NASA did NOT spend millions to invent the Space Pen. Parker Pen developed it, without any contract or grant from NASA.<br><br>A little research, people!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wjake]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2009 9:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Popular Products Developed by NASA Scientists]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/15/popular-products-developed-by-nasa-scientists/</guid><description><![CDATA[i agree with you n8 but then again take into account how many private investors that arent oil companies have the money or power to invest such amounts into finding an alternative energy source and the oil companies arent willing to do so until the oil is copmpletely gone and that wont happen we will just drill in other places i mean for gos sake they could drill off the coast of new jersey they havent yet but they could. all im sayen is it is the way it is and unless a huge chaange is made its gunna stay that way!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mikeisman2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 16th 2009 11:00PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
