How does space exploration affect you?

NASA has introduced a nice interactive graphic describing how space exploration affects each of us. Click on "NASA Home and City" for an interactive tour through the everyday items found in a typical home that have roots in the space program. The graphics and execution of the newly redesigned NASA web home is simply outstanding.

If you spend enough money on research, you are bound to come up with something. However, what inventions will we never know about because the money to fund them was stolen from taxpayers? I am certain that private investors would have spent their own money more efficiently than bureaucrats doling it out to crony government contractors. We will never know what a free people could have invented in a free and competitive market.
