“I’m an alienist. That is a doctor. But instead of looking to cure a disease of the body, I look to help those who suffer from an illness of the mind. Sometimes society looks upon people as crazy. It may only mean that they are alienated from their own true natures.” └ The Alienist premieres January 22nd on TNT

NASA Technology in Your Life

How does NASA technology benefit life on Earth? It probably has an impact in more ways than you think! Since 1976, our Spinoff program has profiled nearly 2,000 space technologies that have transformed into commercial products and services. In celebration of Spinoff’s 40th year of publication, we’ve assembled a collection of spinoffs that have had the greatest impact on Earth. 

Take a look and see how many you utilize on a regular basis:

Digital Image Sensors

Whether you take pictures and videos with a DSLR camera or a cell phone, or even capture action on the go with a device like a GoPro Hero, you’re using NASA technology. The CMOS active pixel sensor in most digital image- capturing devices was invented when we needed to miniaturize cameras for interplanetary missions. This technology is also widely used in medical imaging and dental X-ray devices.

Enriched Baby Formula

While developing life support for Mars missions, NASA-funded researchers discovered a natural source for an omega-3 fatty acid previously found primarily in breast milk that plays a key role in infant development. The ingredient has since been added to more than 90% of infant formula on the market and is helping babies worldwide develop healthy brains, eyes and hearts.

NASTRAN Software

NASTRAN is a software developed by our engineers that performs structural analysis in the 1960s. Still popular today, it’s been used to help design everything from airplanes and cars to nuclear reactors and even Disney’s Space Mountain roller coaster.

Food Safety Standards

Looking to ensure the absolute safety of prepackaged foods for spaceflight, we partnered with the Pillsbury Company to create a new, systematic approach to quality control. Now known as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), the method has become an industry standard that benefits consumers worldwide by keeping food free from a wide range of potential chemical, physical and biological hazards.

Neutral Body Posture Specifications

What form does the human body naturally assume when all physical influences, including the pull of gravity, stop affecting it? We conducted research to find out using Skylab, America’s first space station, and later published specifications for what it called neutral body posture. The study has informed seat designs in everything from airplanes and office chairs to several models of Nissan automobiles.

Advanced Water Filtration

We recently discovered unexpected sources of water on the moon and Mars, but even so, space remains a desert for human explorers, and every drop must be recycled and reused. A nano filter devised to purify water in orbit is currently at work on Earth, in devices that supply water to remote villages as well as in a water bottle that lets hikers and adventurers stay hydrated using streams and lakes.

Swimsuit Designs

Wind-tunnel testing at our Langley Research Center played a key role in the development of Speedo’s LZR Racer swimsuit, proving which materials and seams best reduced drag as a swimmer cuts through the water. The swimsuit made a splash during its Olympic debut in 2008, as nearly every medal winner and world-record breaker wore the suit.

Air Purifier

When plants grow, they release a gas called ethylene that accelerates decay, hastening the wilting of flowers and the ripening of fruits and vegetables. Air circulation on Earth keeps the fumes from building up, but in the hermetically sealed environment of a spacecraft, ethylene poses a real challenge to the would-be space farmers. We funded the development of an ethylene scrubber for the International Space Station that has subsequently proved capable of purifying air on Earth from all kinds of pathogens and particulates. Grocery stores use it to keep produce fresh longer. It’s also been marketed for home use and has even been embraced by winemakers, who employ the scrubber to keep aging wine in barrels free from mold, mildew and musty odors.

Scratch-Resistant, UV-Reflective Lenses

Some of the earliest research into effective scratch-resistant coatings for prescription and sunglass lenses drew from work done at Ames Research Center on coatings for astronaut helmet visors and plastic membranes used in water purification systems. In the 1980s, we developed sunlight-filtering lenses to provide eye protection and enhance colors, and these lenses have found their way into sunglasses, ski goggles and safety masks for welders.

Dustbuster

An Apollo-era partnership with Black & Decker to build battery-operated tools for moon exploration and sample collection led to the development of a line of consumer, medical and industrial hand-held cordless tools. This includes the popular Dustbuster cordless vacuum.

Art Show Tips for Newbies

So a friend asked for some tips–he has another friend who’s a good artist, but doesn’t know where to begin in selling his work.  I wrote up a long list of tips and advice for him–and figured hey, there might be a few people online who might find this helpful too!   So here’s what I’ve learned from selling my work over the last 4 years!

Script to Screen: Ratatouille

See how a script translates to a film in real time!

Hey Jules, recently my schooling situation has changed and I can no longer attend school (I’m last year of high school) and I’ve just got so much time that I don’t know what to do with. I know I need to use it to write films and film them, build a portfolio etc, but I can’t seem to think of any original ideas at all and I don’t want to copy anything. Have you got any advice on coming up with original ideas and then motivating yourself to write/film/edit them without school deadlines??

Hey Anon,

I’m sorry to hear about your school situation, but it’s awesome you are continuing to create and learn on your own!

It’s great you are conscious about not copying other people’s ideas, but I also don’t want you to think your ideas can’t be similar to other works. There is a difference between copying and inspiration. Don’t think you can’t write something because the concept has been done before. Everything has been done before. As long as you make it your own, there is nothing wrong with being similar to other works  For instance, I am writing what I refer to as a modern-day Breakfast Club. I refer to it as such because it’s a bunch of high school students stuck in one location and has a similar comedic tone. But instead of exploring high school cliches, it explores family dynamics and suburban life. Similar, but different.

I’ve made some pretty extensive brainstorming posts that I think will help you come up with some ideas:

Brainstorming techniques

Finding inspiration

Character brainstorming

As for deadlines, I recommend setting a schedule for yourself. Every week, complete a certain amount of pages, create a character biography, create a scene-by-scene, or whatever works for you. Aline Brosh McKenna (The Devil Wears Prada, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) uses a 6-month template to write features:

Month 1: Prep

Months 2-5: Write a page a day (120 pgs)

Month 6: Rewrite

You can also apply to writing competitions that will give you a real deadline to work against. This blog also has an annual screenwriting challenge for short films. I leave the posts up even when the challenge is closed so people can use them as a template for their own self-imposed deadlines.

However, if there’s no one to answer to, it can be hard to follow through with self-imposed deadlines. I recommend grabbing a friend and asking them to hold you accountable. Once a week (or whatever timeline works best for you) have your friend check up on you and see if you have made your goal. Physically turn something in to them if that helps. They don’t have to read it or anything, but having another person who knows (and cares) about your deadline will make it easier to meet it. (I am also willing to be that person who checks up on you/holds you accountable. Just message me!)

I hope these help!

Keep writing,

Jules

Hello. I would like to know which would be the camera cheaper, which take photos very good, especially the brand Canon

Hello Anon,

If I’m reading this right, you are asking for cheaper cameras for photography? Especially Canon cameras.

This post has a short list of cameras (mostly Canon) under $500 (bought used). Some other Canon cameras include:

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Canon EOS 7D Mark II

Canon EOS Rebel T7i

This article has a nice top 10 cheapest cameras list that has all different brands and their specs. Techradar in general has a lot of information and you can find articles specific to the type of photography or videography you are interested in.

Nikon is also very good with photography and some of there cameras include:

Nikon D850

Nikon D500

Nikon D7500

Overall, you can find older models for cheaper and if you find one in your price range, you can google reviews of that camera and compare the specs to what you are looking for.

Best,

Jules
