still think NASA is a waste of money?

NASA has announced that they have developed a new metallic alloy. "so what?" one might say. but, in their desire to create better materials for space-related uses, sometimes they find stuff useful in many ways. their new alloy, called GRX-810, is twice as strong as metals they have been using, 3.5 times more flexible, and over 1000 times more durable in high temp/high stress applications, such as rocketry & missile internals, than their current state of the art materials. . plus, it lends itself to 3D printing very well. from 3D Printing Industry, The Independent, and zmescience.com. this stuff is going to end up in LOTS of applications...maybe bicycle frames? where's Unc at?

Got a link for more info?

titanium already comes from outer space

Idk my carbon fiber kona could use some nasa goodies
Bring it on home
Alien metals? Sure

Looks interesting:

NASA’s new 3D printing alloy 1,000 times more durable than existing aerospace alloys - 3D Printing Industry

NASA has developed an all-new metal 3D printing alloy specially designed for use in high-performance aerospace systems.

It's not NAYSA it's NASA! But seriously NASA is awesome and scary at the same time.who knows what kinda military contracts they have.they have invented some cool stuff.who knows about the shit we don't know about

always liked Tang. made "Russian Tea" with it. he was just mad that there was not a Pal's there to buy tea or Frenchy Fries...when a kid, i rolled my worn-out bubble-gum in Tang to give it flavor again.

average person will likely never understand how our lives have been improved with products developed from research aimed at space travel...even failures teach you something.

I liked it as a kid too.
I'm kinda partial to the second man on the moon... "Buzz"

It's 100% waste of money.

velcro...plus adding the word "space" to anything makes it cooler...except space herpes

You know what really good when you sprinkle tang on it? Vanilla ice cream.i swear it's good.coffe is good on ice cream too

You just reminded me of the movie Ice Pirates, "the ship just got space herpes"

NASA is a total waste of money.

Here is a company with innovation. Smoke a joint and ponder this thing that supposedly takes off and lands vertically. The 'pics' of it flying show no quad-rotor blades, so it must be able to also takeoff and land regular style on the wing. I don't buy the 50 minute recharge:

Aircraft - BETA

The all-electric ALIA aircraft is strikingly simple, designed for performing critical cargo, military, and medical missions all while producing zero operational emissions.

or smoke a joint and ponder that they most likely based much of that on tech nasa developed

Maybe his taste buds and his palate was affected by all of those gold deposit anomalies he was spotin on the coast of Florida or that awesome lunar dust. Ive heard its all the rage
