In its 51 years of operation NASA has burned through tons of rocket fuel and taxpayer money, indirectly providing us with technological developments both ubiquitous (GPS) and not-so (the "Space Pen").
One area where I didn't expect to see trickle-down space-based technology was in package design. But a company called GoGo squeeZ is actually using packaging originally designed for astronauts to deliver "no-mess applesauce." The squeezepack's re-sealable cap doubles as a built-in straw, and while squeezing smashed apples into your mouth might seem somewhat undignified, it's a damn sight better than writing upside down and underwater with a little silver pen.
