Houston, we have a podcast.

Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center,

episode 238, from space to you.

I'm Gary Jordan, and I'll be your host today.

On this podcast, we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, and astronauts all to let you know what's going on in the world of human spaceflight and more.

One of NASA's primary goals as an agency is to explore the Cosmos, to reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind.

And that benefit can come in a lot of different ways.

But I think one of the most direct way is bringing some of the things we learned directly into products and services

that we as Earthbound citizens use and can sometimes impact our daily lives.

This transfer of technology to the private sector is run by a program called, you guessed it,

NASA's technology transfer program.

Longtime listeners may recognize this program from episode 135.

In addition to the work of actually managing the transfer of technology, every year the Technology

Transfer Office publishes a book of these technologies that have made their way into different industries.

That book is called NASA spinoff, and they recently published a brand new one for this year,

2022. On this episode, we're talking with Daniel Lockney, Technology Transfer Program Executive,

about the program itself and about some of the latest and greatest technologies that were

included in this most recent publication, things like air purifiers that can make

their way into our own homes, or vertical farming technologies that can end up in our grocery store

down the street. From space to your own home here are some

incredible technologies with Daniel Lockney. Enjoy. P-Mineas-T minus by seconds and county.

Mark.
