Here’s a good list… a decent portion of those are every day items that we’ve gotten used to or just take for granted: jpl.nasa.gov/…/20-inventions-we-wouldnt-have-with…

Weather satallites GPS A bunch of different medical treatments/tech were developed on top of groundwork layed out by NASA: …howstuffworks.com/…/nasa-breakthroughs-in-medici…MRIs, artificial heart pumps, and more.

A bunch of different alloys that have since been used in a large number of industries for various purposes: ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20100021913Titanium alloys were lighter and more durable and made them ideal for use as bicycle frames or even in some medical applications.

Here’s a link to a tech brief from NASA in 1969 where they discuss the potential for some of their invented alloys to be used in medical applications for implants and prosthetics: ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/…/19690000087.pdf

And here’s a link showing what kind of materials are used in biomedical applications today: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8546395/
