Your mention of Tang brought back all sorts of memories from the 60’s space race … does anyone remember the candybar-like food they took up … as a young girl, I still remember the marketing campaign from it … just can’t remember the product name. I do remember that they were horrid, but because the advertising for them made them so intriguing and hip, they were palatable. They were wrapped in a paper/foil wrapper.

Anyone?

Charlie, go to http://www.sti.nasa.gov/tto/spinselect.html, ” If you enter the word “medicine” in the box labeled “search for text”, you’ll get a long list of articles that talk about the vast number of ways NASA has advanced the field of medicine.

I believe there were a significant number of medical breakthroughs vis-a-vis space exploration. Can anyone elaborate?
