Space tech is not just for rocket scientists

The debate of the value of investing in space is at the front of the Australian Space Agency conversation. The private space sector has to justify the value of the government’s planned investment continuously, looking for ways that the R&D and technology can apply to other sectors and the general public. It’s a difficult conversation, because it is hard to imagine that any of the elaborate technologies that are built to realise space missions, would have any benefit to us meer Earthlings.

Well, it does. We use rocket science technology in our everyday lives more than you think.
