Space technology has had a profound impact on our everyday lives. Many of our modern-day technologies, such as baby formula, come from research done by NASA or other space organizations. Likewise, necessities nowadays like GPS, the internet, camera sensors, and rail monitors were only made possible by the likes of NASA. For the future, space exploration will continue to grow at an accelerating pace, meaning more demand for rockets, fuel, and other necessities that will revolutionize the manufacturing industry. Other mechanisms such as AI will also benefit greatly, as AI is crucial to piloting space probes. So we must understand the potential of space technology and pursue it for the future (Joshi).
Water is an essential part of survival for all creatures; common on earth, but almost impossible to find in the depths of space. Because of that, astronauts in space have to ration water among themselves to conserve the limited amount they bring with them. Due to this problem, NASA has worked on water recycling methods for space. One of the most notable technologies is the Water Processing Assembly onboard the ISS. The WPA was deployed onboard the ISS in 2008 to decrease the amount of water sent up to the ISS. Still, more work is being done, and NASA continues to test water recovery systems at the Johnson Space Center (“NASA Advances”).
