NASA and the America's Cup

Benefits From Beyond: In 1983, Australia won the Americas Cup. The USA needed an edge and they got it by using a combination of NASA technology, 3M manufacturing, and a component that was inspired by a rather unlikely contributor. The Cost: Fire crews in Los Angeles are setting alight the area of the San Gabriel Mountains to stop the wildfires that have destroyed many thousands of hectares and forests. Feature: The mission STS-103, how it has dramatically expanded astronomers' understanding of the cosmos.
