Case Study for NASA

Since its inception in 1958, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has accomplished many great scientific and technological feats. NASA technology also contributed to the military-industrial complex, where adaptations have benefited us mere earthlings. For example in 2000 NASA started a program to develop the next generation of lithium advanced batteries. The new lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries could mean that a 12 year old who plays his or her hand-held electronic game for 2 hours per day would not have to buy any more batteries until they were 64 years old!
