What is fascinating about this book is the surprisingly unglamourous uses to which NASA technology has been put: it's not tricorders or machines that vanquish your foe with a directional pulse of pure energy that have trickled onto the terrestrial market, but heat resistant paint and non-stick coating for frying pans. Which is probably no bad thing. All in all an excellent read.
