They say that necessity is the mother of invention.
During the Great Space Race of the 1950's and.
60's, that seemingly became the underlying motto of the United States space.
program. Many new and incredible inventions came out of the space exploration.
program; things that are in almost everyone's home today. High efficiency.
insulation was first used to insulate fuel tanks on liquid-fueled rockets. Portable.
x-ray machines, programmable pacemakers and many surgical tools were all.
pioneered as part of the space program. On January 14, 2004, President Bush.
delivered a speech outlining his goals for the space exploration program. This.
caused immediate controversy as to whether or not America should become a.
space-faring nation again.
Critics say that the renewed space program will reap no benefits for the.
United States, but is that really true? In fact, restoring the space program would.
bring many benefits that could include scientific research regarding the sun, and.
possibly new energy sources for the world. Other arguments against space.
exploration say that it would cost too much money. NASA spends, and will.
continue to spend less that one percent of the federal budget. But perhaps the.
most important thing to come out of a new space exploration program could be.
inventions. .
During the 1950's, computers could be the size of a supermarket. They.
used vacuum tubes to work. But to travel to space, computers needed to be.
small enough to fit aboard a shuttle. The result was the microprocessor. These.
tiny computer chips are found in PCs, airplanes, appliances, and thousands of.
other products used everyday. The critics, 35 years ago, called the.
microprocessor an expensive "toy." The cost of making these "toys" has been.
returned a billion-fold, if not more, today.
Many inventions have come out of previous space conquests. The.
concentrated baby food and freeze-dried instant mixes kids are fed today were.
first consumed in space.

In Baroque architecture the plan form alone is of little use as a method of communicating one's real experience of the architectonic space, for it gives no indication of the unique spaces created by the complex composition of geometrical forms, which in plan, overlay and merge in unprecedented size and complexity. Nor does it create a clear boundary between interior and exterior space, since ceilings and roofs, which are as important in defining architectonic space as walls, are not indicated on the plan drawings. Neither can Baroque's' unity of the arts in there technical brill...
