Space innovations: what do you think?

In order to get people into space, scientists and engineers have had to get creative. They have invented lots of new things for astronauts – but many of these things have changed the lives of people on Earth too. For example, satellite navigation helps people to find their way around every day, and artificial limbs give disabled people more mobility.

However, space innovations do not benefit everyone equally. For example, not everyone can afford space innovations like high speed internet and remote medical care.

Look at the pictures below to explore more examples of space innovations!

1. CAT scans 2. Water purification system 3. Land mine removal 4. Camera phones 5. LEDs 6. Athletic shoes 7. Memory foam 8. Foil blankets 9. Duster Busters 10. Scratch-resistant lenses 11. Ear thermometers 12. Home insulation 13. Wireless headsets 14. Freeze dried food 15. Artificial limbs 16. Ballpoint pens 17. Computer mouse 18. Baby formula

  • I think you being beneficial is you having the resources and knowledge, skills, passion for space so once you have this attribute so you ready

    1. Totally agree. Plus having the curiosity how these innovations may be made in different ways not to affect the Earth negatively. Sometimes we need poweful safety system not to use the satellite navigation, for example, to spy. Othertimes we need to think more about our health espically while talking about dried food as an example.

      1. Very interesting commentary both! How do you think space exploration could become more sustainable or act to promote sustainability on planet Earth?

        1. Its all about the natural resources. Earth sadly losing its treasures due to increasing consumption rates, wastage of resources and the side effects of climate change. Its the need of the hour to develop new skills and search new resources from outer world. Also due to pollution and climate change issues the future of the planet earth seems to be dark for its habitation. Nuclear war heads on the other hand could be the cause to erase the human race from earth. Space exploration can give a safe route to some courageous human survivals.
          Space exploration can lead to the sustainable energy resources and ways to transport them to earth. Space explorers can get the opportunity to learn the skills of adopting resilient lifestyle.

  • I think this will be a great idea. The Surge of space innovation that comes with interest will create new opportunities and inspire the next generation of doers. If this happens the boundary between science and social impact are blurred. Space Innovation leading to scientific discovery will benefit the whole world and also support science innovators. So we should all participate in this innovation to enhance the project of space exploration. Technology development and spin-offs from space research can find their way to the community worldwide and can also come with lifesaving benefits. We need more students that will discover and invent in communication,robotics, satellite and earth observations. Space exploration is very relevant to everyone online it just needs discipline and interest.

    1. You said that space innovation is closely related to every person who uses the Internet, can you explain how?!

    2. I love the idea of having innovations for lifesaving sake. For example
      automatic helicopters with small cameras helps us to fly through the forests and dive deep in the oacons to understand more about what live there and how they adapt with the environment. Without such space innovation let's say we will be disconnected with the other creations who may suffer from something and for sure we can help.
      In this context, some eagles far on the top of the trees have the problem of swallowing plastic bags as well as the tortoises on the other side of the world which really suffer alot from the same problem. Without having such innovations we were about to lose these species .

    3. Great point! Do you see any drawbacks to space exploration too or do you think the benefits will ultimately outweigh any negatives?

    4. I agree, scientific discovery and social impact can go hand-in-hand, which is exciting! How do you think we can drive more interest in the discovery and invention of these things? I appreciate your phrase: "inspire the next generation of doers."

  • 1: Who has benefited most from space innovations?
    Who invented the formula for artificial infant formula because it gives the mother more flexibility and freedom of movement and the mother does not need to change her diet due to breastfeeding

    2: Who are the people who benefit least from space innovations?
    Those who invented ballpoint pens, we must write with pencils, which means that it is not very important in our daily life.

    3: What is the most important space innovation for me?
    For me, the prosthetic limbs because they help to walk, so the missing limbs do not feel a shortage of healthy people
    Also, the composition of milk for children is very important in our lives, because without it, life would be more difficult for mothers
    4: Do you use any of the things in the pictures above?
    Yes, use your mobile phone, glasses, blankets and pens

    1. You said that the people who write with their pens are the least benefited from space innovations, but I disagree with your opinion. From my own opinion, I see that there is a close link between writing and space innovations. They are a complementary topic to each other, as space innovators are the ones who do research and projects, but who transfers them to the world?!
      Those who write, of course, convey the suffering, experience and attempt of the innovators of space, so they are the means to deliver the greatest amount of benefit to the largest number of people around the world. Rather, space motivates them to develop their writing skills and so on. Therefore, I see that they are among the beneficiaries of space innovations.

      1. But I did not say that all kinds of pens are not important in our lives, but I mean that we can write with pencils..... I really know that pens are the reason why some scientists have reached their inventions

    2. Hi Committed_tsunami!

      Really good points, especially number 3 regarding the prosthetic limbs, I totally agree! Do you think this benefit is available for everyone who needs it? or just a specific group of people depending on their class/geographic location?

      How could space innovations be made accessible for everyone?

      1. I do not think that it is available to everyone who needs it. Yes, it is a specific group of people according to their class and geographical location
        Maybe Making a lot of them and giving everyone in need prosthetic limbs

    3. Great comment! So your view is that different space innovations are ultimately beneficial but for different population groups and different circumstances, is that correct?

  • I see that the people who benefit most from space innovations are governments, because they see space innovations in general as a battleground for who is stronger and more developed, In addition to the fact that space also reflects the relations of some countries with others and popular events, and affects their role in this field, Among the evidence for what I am saying is the recent events in the world and how one of the most important countries in the field of space withdrew from the International Space Station,
    And this space is already (the Cold War)

    In my opinion, the people who benefit least from space innovations are the poor people, where many of their youth have great ideas and innovations, but because the government cannot invest their ideas because of weak capabilities, The people cannot benefit from innovations, whether by buying them from rich countries or applying the ideas of their youth, so young people who insist on their goal are forced to apply for scholarships and travel to rich countries and make their ideas succeed there,Thus, young people migrate from poor peoples, and the condition of the poor country and its people remains the same without noticeable change

    One of the things that I use from the picture and the most important thing for me is the pen, because as a student I use it for about 6 hours a day, and because I am an aficionado of writing, I need it to write poetry and various topics, And even for our world it is the most important, where all the ancient schemes that paved the way for today's advanced inventions, were written by pens, without pens it would have been difficult,Nowadays, it is not that important for some people to have mobile phones, but writing freely on the mobile phone is not that comfortable,Therefore, even modern phone companies, such as: Apple, Samsung, are producing styluses for phones to facilitate touch, and there is a great demand by young people for this type of device.

    1. This is an outstanding comment, broadminded_memory! You have considered different perspectives as well as your own and have backed up all of your points with examples. I thought that your point about how space innovations are a "battleground" for countries to prove who is stronger or more developed was particularly interesting. I wonder if others will agree or disagree? I'd love to see some responses for both!

    2. "I see that the people who benefit most from space innovations are governments" what if the government is poor, we can say that they are beneficiaries.

      1. Can you explain a bit more about what you mean, emotional_meaning?

        1. Sorry I meant we cannot say they are beneficiaries. Countries that are undeveloped and do not have enough revenue are not beneficiaries to space innovations because they cannot afford some of those innovations in their counties.

          1. Ah I see what you mean! What could be done to help make this situation more fair? I wonder if anyone else has any ideas?

    3. Hi Broadminded_memory!

      You have considered some really good points

      Do you think that the young people migrating to other countries to take advantage of these developments can do something to help invest into the country they have left? especially once they are skilled and qualified?

  • 1. I cannot say who benefits the most from these innovations, as these tools are all life things that help all people do things easily and also help treat patients, so everyone should benefit from them, but from my point of view, the most benefit from these innovations are Those who have a lot of money, as everything in these pictures needs a lot of money, so I find that this is unfair. There are many people who need these innovations, such as: patients who suffer from persistent disease, but they cannot find the appropriate treatment for him, and the reason is money Or those who love sports, as they need good sports shoes, so they cannot buy them in soap with disease in their feet, what do you think? Do you agree with me or what?
    2. I cannot say that the poor are the least benefited from these products, as there are many poor people who use these products, but they are not of the highest quality, because everything suits them. Money, so it is difficult for the poor, he cannot use these products
    and innovations
    3. The most important space innovation for me is the pen, as there are many poor people who have become one of the richest people because of this pen. It allows everyone to express the opinion and the general situation of the country or the world and to take notes. Thanks to this pen, many people were able to become scholars. Discovering these innovations, and what do you think, can something be discovered without the pen? And if your answer is yes, how will that happen?

  • The people who benefit the most?
    sick peopleBecause there are many patients who need equipment and machines that are not found on planet Earth and are mainly in space and help in a great way in their recovery and knowledge of their condition and disease and they live reassured in the event of knowing their disease and its type. This was notThe innovations make it difficult to cure the sickPeople who benefit least?
    People who do not research and do not care much about space science and innovations and are satisfied with the innovations of the earth. When they search more in space innovations, they find that they are important in some areas of human beings that did not exist on Earth and that they facilitate their lives, so their love for innovations becomes greater and they strive to obtain them and benefit from them.

    What space innovation is most important to you ؟
    Patient-assisted innovations such as CAT scanners, ear thermometers, and prosthetics
    Because it is important for patients to help them live normally like other humans and live with pleasure and joy and not feel inferiority from their disease

    Do you use any of the things mentioned in the picture
    Yes, like wired headphones, ballpoint pens, computer mouse, and sneakers
    I found it very important in my daily life
    I also found that I got used to it a lot, and it is one of the things that makes me most happy in spending my day

    1. Hi willing_woodpecker! You said that some medical machines and equipment can be found in space but not on Earth. Are you sure about this? Can you give examples please?

      1. yes sure
        Because space innovations are mainly from space, not from Earth, and examples such as prosthetic legs, CAT scanners and thermometers

  • 1 _ Who are the people who benefit most from space innovations?
    _ Young people: because they are the ones who care about modern things, keep pace with development and understand how to use, not like adults who only understand what was in the past (their present).
    2_ Who are the people who benefit least from innovations?
    Scientists are the least benefited because they don't care about what's going on and are just busy working to develop the world further.
    3_ What is the most important space innovation for you?
    For example, do you use any of the things in the picture?
    _ Devices that have cameras because they help us take pictures and save them until needed.

    1. Hi great_mango, do you think it is fair to say that young people are the only ones who care about modern things? I think we have some experts who might disagree with you! How else could you phrase your idea to make it more fair?

      1. Because young people are the basis of society, so they like to develop society, always think of inventions and love progress and experiments .

    2. That's an interesting perspective. Do you think some of the innovations pictured above are suited to young people? E.g. baby formula? Medical treatments?

      It's also interesting to consider where scientists get their ideas from? Where do you think they get their inspiration?

      1. That's an interesting perspective. Do you think some of the innovations pictured above are suited to young people? E.g. baby formula? Medical treatments?

        _ not suitable for young people, of course, but they love progress and development and love experiments. For example, with regard to infant formula and medical treatments, they can use it, but not for them, but but children and others, but they like to bring and experience everything that is modern .
        .It's also interesting to consider where scientists get their ideas from? Where do you think they get their inspiration?

        _Scientists get their ideas and inspiration through questions, for example, a sick man wondering where the disease came from and how we can treat it. By searching for strange things and so on, and from here they can invent things that benefit them and others.

        1. I really like your point about scientists being inspired by questions.

    3. Do you not think that the elderly also benefit from these innovations??, as most of the leaders, presidents and governments are the elderly, and I think that they are the people who benefit the most from them, as they are working to exploit them as much as possible to compete with each other and launch a peaceful attack or military

    4. I agree that the young will benefit most but that isn't necessarily because us adults only live in the past! It is mainly because the young have longer to enjoy the benefits of innovation and because innovation tends to bring about further innovation!
      Scientists benefit from innovations too as they can help them do their work in improving understanding of the world around us.
      I think that if you look at all the things that have come to be because of space exploration you will find many items that you use or benefit from in day-to-day life. Indeed, you're probably using one now!
      Would you like to be involved in such innovation yourself one day?

    5. I really agree with you. Young men love to take an interest in development And relying on modern machines to do things, but scientists are not the least benefit Rather, the most beneficial because the development of devices and machines helped scientists discover new, more advanced things

  • The most benefited are the category of infants the mother may be in a situation that does not allow her to breastfeed her child so formula milk is used as an ideal alternative .It contains and mental developer for infants and is considered a good nutritional supplement because it contains fatty acids that are not formed by the human body

    The lest benefit is the developing countries that have not yet reached this development and are unable to import these devices from abroad

    The most important for me are phones equipped with cameras as they are important events in our practical or scientific lives.

  • I think my favorite innovation is the water purification system because it has great importance in making use of rain water and getting rid of pollutants such as bacteria and viruses to get potable water that is pure enough to be used as well. Some countries are prone to war, and I think that developed countries are the most used of these innovations, while developing countries are the least vulnerable to these innovations.

    1. The point you made about developing countries is interesting - can you explain why they might benefit less from these innovations than others?

      1. Because developing countries are unable to buy these innovations because of their poor and low financial situation, or their inability to import these innovations because of weak crossings or because the occupier controls these crossings in the occupied countries

    2. This is a very valid point; however, don't you think that those innovation could be more beneficial to those countries that have issues?

      1. Yes, of course, these developing countries are the most in need of these innovations, but the problem is that they are unable to obtain them and are unable to provide them to all needy people. But in my opinion, the developed countries should provide and support these developing countries with these innovations.

  • Scientists spend a lot of money and time to help them discover space and scientific expansion in the field of astronomy and its sciences, and to discover scientific techniques that help us in daily life.

  • Scientists spend a lot of money and time to help them discover space and scientific expansion in the field of astronomy and its sciences, and to discover scientific techniques that help us in daily life.

  • Scientists spend a lot of money and time to help them discover space and scientific expansion in the field of astronomy and its sciences, and to discover scientific techniques that help us in daily life.

    1. Totally agree, but in your opinion, Which people benefit most from space innovations? And which poeple benefit less?

  • The discovery of space has helped create a positive human future by exploring many devices and technologies that have helped educate a large number of people. Space exploration alone has provided a great deal of important knowledge to educate people and increase their awareness about the basic understanding of our planet and the universe.

  • Space has become to some extent known to scientists, using satellites and high-tech telescopes, man has been able to explore many secrets of space and many scientists believe that the future a large part of it will be in space and seek to explore other life in outer space that is better than Earth through which problems can be avoided And the difficulties faced by man on earth.

    1. Could you elaborate on this? What problems do you think can be avoided? Also do you think there is life out there?

    2. That's an interesting take. Do you think it will be possible for humans to move from Earth someday ?

  • Achievements and innovations benefit society in raising their status among peoples. Space is a void in which there are only galaxies, celestial bodies, and planets. Man cannot live on it. Even most of the scientists who went to space, a few of them, returned safely to Earth, and this indicates the danger of ascending to space. Moon but we'll get onA large number of fans to go up to the moon are like the poor, and they are the most popular group of people who love science and learn about scientific things because of the lack of internet and phones they have. They resorted to books and their imaginations to invent things and learn about science. If their intellectual skills are developed, we will produce a generation Full of scientists and achievements

  • Beit Hanoun Prep Girls A School .
    1. In my opinion, most people can benefit from these innovations, and there is no doubt that life will be difficult without them.
    2. I do not think that there are people who cannot benefit from it, but it may be who are not able to use it in their daily life.
    3 . Yes, I use some of them, such as phones, lamps, etc., but the most important innovation for me is lamps because light is the basis of this life.

    1. Hiya fearless_engineer!, you think that most people can benefit from these innovations, but don't you think that there are some people that are in need to these innovations but cant afford their price? and you think that Light is the basis of this life , don't you think that water is the basis instead ? and the " water purification system" is the more important innovation so that you can drink pure water to stay alive in healthy condition?

      1. Of course, there are people who need it in their lives, but they cannot buy it. I agree with the opinion, but I am talking in general about most people, and I know that some people need it and cannot buy it.
        Regarding the importance of water, I do not deny that, but imagine with me how life would be without light....
        You will see it dark, oppressive, black here. I realized the importance of light in life. Because many people neglect its importance, no person can accomplish his work without light, as doctors need light greatly in their work to treat people and perform surgeries, so I thought about human lives and people in this situation.

  • I think the rich people, the presidents, and the owners of companies are the people who benefit the most from innovations, because satellites and going to space require a lot of money, but there are people whose financial situation is weak, but they have inventions that exceed the rich, but they can't go to space, or people who can't buy these innovations, because I can't buy a robot or TV screen My life is full of inventions, for example I hold the phone to find out useful news and my motherNext to me, she uses the vacuum cleaner to clean the house, my sister wears unbreakable glasses, and we watch wars of people losing parts of their bodies, so you have Palestine full of wars, some of them lost an arm and some of them lost a leg. Because I write my homework in it and they are known at school and we have benefited from the spaceKnowledge of the solar system, planets and distant galaxies and works to protect the Earth from asteroids that cause disasters, and in space there are many raw materials such as gold, silver and platinum, and useful medicines have been discovered for humans, such as the treatment of osteoporosis..

    1. Thank you for sharing these examples of how space innovations have benefitted you and your country, centered_robin. Are there any space innovations in the above examples that you benefit less from? Why?

  • 1-The people who benefit most from space innovations are the heads of state themselves. I chose the heads of states because they are considered the upper hand controlling the flow of things in the state. They are also the support and stop the space innovations, so countries competed a lot in this field, because the success of one operation guarantees the reaping of enormous money for the benefit of the people. The state and thus raising the economy to obtain economic integration for the entire state, and thus the state guarantees its position among the countries of the world. It has become economically and socially important. It has also gained popular prestige and friendly neighboring relations in its favour, and many areas have opened up for it.


    2-From my point of view, I see that the least benefit from space innovations is the people who live in developing countries, where the state's shortcomings and economic weakness do not have the ability to participate in innovative subscriptions, for example, or to have a hand in a deal to develop one of the innovations, so it is unable to Being an active party among other countries, and at the same time, it will not be able to provide the necessary environment for its people, and if it is among its people who are interested in the issue of innovations, he will not decide to do it in his country, but will travel to a developed country that supports his project. Therefore, these developing countries do not have the opportunity to experiment, only have a chance Hear about these achievements!


    3-I chose to choose camera phones as the most used innovation for me, this was a really great innovation for the whole world, although I am not very supportive of social networking sites, but camera phones was a beautiful innovation because it gave us the opportunity to keep our beautiful memories or strange things We did it and wanted to make it a beautiful memory, as crime and case investigators use it to facilitate investigations by taking it as evidence, and presidents and officials use it in depicting what is important to them, and it has many important uses that benefit humanity.

    1. You mentioned that some people who innovate might choose to leave their country to share their ideas elsewhere - and you're right, this does happen. Can you explain why people might do this?

      1. Yes, of course, I can explain what drives a lot to travel abroad. My focus will be on the youth of my country because they are the greatest example of this. We are considered a developing country in which you do not find many supporters for you and your productive projects, and many young people in their twenties are studying and obtaining university degrees, but after The doors are closed in their faces due to the lack of job opportunities!
        We are facing a very large unemployment, which prompted many young people to travel abroad in search of work or a salary higher than what they get in their country. Also, the view of the people of the state for the state itself is somewhat wrong. If a person wants to do a project he is afraid to present it to the government of his country because The possibility of its support for it is very weak due to the government's shortcomings and its weak budget. Many people resort to going to a developed country that adopts their ideas and supports them to achieve them and the results will come.

      2. I agree to what inventive_conclusion said and in response to this question, people who innovate might leave their country to go elsewhere that is to countries that are developed so that there innovations can be put into place and they achieve from it and earn icome.

    2. I'm interested in who you think benefits most from space innovation. The three people mentioned in the article are all individuals rather than heads of state. Why do you think they are interested in space innovations? Do you think their interest is philanthropical at all?

  • 1. People who benefit most from space innovations ?
    He is the one who invented sports shoes because they make the lives of many people who suffer from joint pain , vision or any other pain easy and make them more flexible and smooth .
    2. The least benefited
    He is the one who invented the headphones because many people do not prefer them because of their long-term negativ effects on the ear and weaken the human sense of hearing.
    3. The most important innovation for me ?
    Resistance lenses because they help to see well for those who have weak eyes , where they do not feel inferior .
    4. Do you use any of the existing things ?
    Yes , I use the ballpoint pen because I am a student and I need it so much at school
    And I use a computer mouse because I learn programming in school , such as creating games and weaving stories
    And use the phone to learn and learn about the languages and cultures of other countries and also use it to study .

    1. Can you give some evidence for your claim that headphones have "long-term negative effects on the ear"? I am not sure this is true.

      1. That is , it can cause hearing loss due to excessive volume , ear infectio tinnitus or hyperacusis . There are many people I know who have used it , resultingin hearing loss

  • I think the people who benefit the most the most from space innovations are the ones who care the most about evolution and progress,and of course they are scientists, inventors and the majority of inventors because they need these innovations to develop them further and less useful are those who live in places that know nothing of development and progress, such as those who live in forest. The most important system is water 💦 purification, because water is the basis of life.

    1. Who might benefit from water purification technology?

      1. Those who will benefit from this technology will be countries where water 💦 is not available. It is possible to turn polluted water with this technology into pure water 💦 that people can drink, such as some countries, suddan, for example.

  • • In my opinion the rich people and developed countries benefit more from space innovations, rich people can see a space innovation and be able to purchase it without the pain of I have lost alot of money but an individual that lives below a dollar cannot see a space innovation and purchase it because they do not have enough money to feed with, underdeveloped countries like Burundi have limited space innovations because of their poor economy but countries like Luxembourg have alot of space innovations because of their high and rich economy.
    •The poor and underdeveloped countries benefit least from space innovations. The poor(living under a dollar per day)can hardly feed so it will be hard for them to afford space innovations. Underdeveloped countries hardly have good infrastructure because they generate small revenue.
    •The water purification system is the most important to me. According to Audrey Hepburn "Water is life, and clean water means health." If we have clean water some of our world problems will reduce, if we have clean water there won't be food crisis because our crops will grow well in our farms, if we have clean we would not fall ill easily, if we have clean water we would preserve alot of aquatic organisms.
    •Yes I use some of these space innovations like the Water purification system, Camera phones , LEDs, Athletic shoes, Scratch-resistant lenses, Ear thermometers ,Home insulation,Wireless headsets,Freeze dried food,Ballpoint pens,Computer mouse .

    1. Great comment @emotional meaning. You've demonstrated the Topical Talk skills of listening, speaking and creativity really well and given lots of relevant evidence and examples to support your points, well done!

  • As a result of technological development and the prevailing trend among scientists to explore space, we may find a safe life in the future far from the planet Earth, which has been greatly offended by man.

  • * For me, they are entrepreneurs and marketing, because they are good products, and this is what they want to promote the product and convince people of its usefulness or not they have and are good at persuasion to convince the audience of the products, and for them it is the treasure that will make them richer and more famous.

    * They are the ones who do not know the existence of these products from the origin and who do not live in our civilized world, such as those who live in remote islands or arid deserts or tribes that inhabit forests and high mountains, so they do not know about them until they benefit from them


    * Pens because they are one of the easiest ways to write down information and save it, and from my point of view, because they are the best in expressing opinion, such as writing stories, poetry or novels, and it is the best way to express feelings and write diaries, and it is very important in the student’s life, as he uses it for 12 year and for 6 hours a day, other than home study hours and external lessons, so he should take good care of the type and quality of the pen, because it was the way in the development of civilization, starting with the stone pens that were used for engraving on the stone and ending with the electronic pens accompanying electronic devices such as the iPad and the phone

  • The discovery of space has many benefits for humans, such as economic, cultural and scientific benefits. Therefore, space is worth spending time and money on to create a positive human future. This led to very important technical and scientific inventions and achievements. And when they overcame this challenge, they were able to develop technologies and make them amazing for humans to benefit from on Earth.

    1. Hi giving_mood! You're right that there are lots of benefits to exploring space. Can you think of any specific examples?

  • 1. In my opinion governments of developed countries and rich people that engage in space innovations benefit more from it. We notice that countries that invest in space innovation make a lot of discoveries to the glory of that country. When they invest things it leads to the growth of their country and this results in the pull of skillful human resources in developing countries looking for better opportunities and with the influx of human resources the economy of that country will further develop.

    2. In my opinion the developing countries and poor people benefit least from space innovations due to brain drain developing countries are left behind in the world of technological advancement and it results in stagnation in economic growth. Also, as a result of lack of resources to engage in capital intensive projects like space explorations many developing countries see space exploration as pointless because they feel it is a waste of money travelling to outer space. In my school I conducted a research with 10 teachers where I asked them whether they see the need for space exploration. Out of 10 only 2 saw need for it the 8 others saw it as a waste of valuable cash that can be used to do other important things. This lead to lack of an imaginative mindset in the people of a country and it dangerous for developing countries especially in the fast technologically advancing world we find ourselves in.

    3. I think the space invention that is most important space invention for me is the smoke detector. It's very important because it saves the lives of many people to think of the many people that would have died in fire accidents if not for smoke detectors. I have an aunt who was saved from a fire accident in her workplace by a smoke detector. She was able to get out just in time because of the smoke detector's early alarm.

    1. Well done @amazing_computer, on your outstanding comment. You've showed all of the Topical Talk skills of listening, speaking, creativity and problem solving. You have also provided plenty of relevant and interesting examples and evidence to back up your points. I also see you've really engaged with the subject in by surveying and discussing this with your school teachers in your own time which is fantastic!

    2. That's a really good comment.
      It has always bugged me that if aliens looked down on earth and saw individual countries competing with each other to explore space rather than working together, they would be very confused! If countries did work together it would lead to much less duplication of effort and money spent.
      Obviously, space exploration is very expensive, and it is fair that we should ask ourselves whether it is worth it. Perhaps the money can be spent improving things here on earth? That said, part of what makes us human is our desire to explore and learn new things. The innovative products above show that not only do we explore but we also learn things that can improve lives on the ground too which you point out with the story of your Aunt.
      Leaving aside rich countries versus poor ones. Do you think that as a species we should continue to explore space?

  • The people who benefit most from space innovations are the rich, meaning those with a lot of money, and the people least benefit from space innovations are the poor, meaning those with little money. Indeed, space innovations do not benefit everyone. Ballpoint pens, baby formula and computer mouse

    1. Nice comment, but not all space innovations have a high price. Baby milk is very necessary. The rich and also the poor use it, and also the ballpoint pen. I think they cannot do without it in their lives.

      With my wishes of good luck and success

  • 1. I see that space innovations have changed the course of humanity in all fields of education, architecture, art and medicine, especially in the recent times, in which we have noticed a huge technological revolution in the fields of life. All of the peoples and societies benefit the most from this development, and even if the person’s capabilities are very simple, he is indispensable for The simplest innovations
    2.Although space innovations have spread to all fields and become available, the poor are the least benefited from them due to the weak economic capabilities necessary to keep pace with the continuous development of great space innovations, especially educational and medical treatment

    3.From my point of view, I see that the most important thing for me is the innovations in the medical field, because human health is the real treasure that he owns and tries to preserve. For example, prosthetic limbs that give people of determination movement with ease and ease without feeling inferior. And glasses and headphones to hear what Important events revolve around them. This innovation also helps to limit the spread of epidemics and diseases for a healthy and healthy environment capable of changing the course of life

  • Well, the most benefiting from space exploration are the scientists and the discoverers themselves. First, it will help
    Information discovery and technology development
    Space travel helps the use of modern technological methods, and the application of these methods on planet Earth as well, and encourages people to technological innovation.
    Space travel helps predict weather conditions better, more accurately

  • I think the people who benefit most from space innovation are the people who live in cities and who really care about the evolution of modern technology.The least beneficiaries of space innovation are people who live in villages and forests and are not interested in the most important development, technology and innovation for me are camera phones so that we can take pictures to remain a beautiful memory.

    1. Do you think there are innovations which are more beneficial to those who live in villages and forests than those in cities? What sort of challenges need addressing in rural areas and for which new innovations are needed?

  • I think that doctors are the people who benefit most from space innovations, as they use devices to diagnose and treat people's diseases using these devices as well, so space innovations have a major role in the development of medicine.
    In my opinion, the people who benefit least from space innovations are the elderly, as the elderly do not keep pace with the developments of the modern era and its modern devices.
    The most important innovation for me is shoes as it is a means of transportation that cannot be moved without The innovation that I use daily is the ballpoint pen. I use it to express my feelings, write my thoughts and draw my paintings
    As the poet said: He who owns a pen has two tongues

  • From my point of view, I see that innovations and development are a practical thing these days in developed countries and not in developing countries that do not think about planning to invent anything. To photograph everything accurately and in high quality 2 Though there are many other innovation that helps people on the Earth for example automatic helicopter with small cameras helps us to fly through the forests and dive deep in the oacons to understand more about what live there and how they adapt with the environment 3 I choose to choose camera phones as the most innovative innovation for me, this was a really great innovation for the whole world through which it saves pictures and photographing beautiful natural places

  • The important space innovation for me is the selfie because it is used to take the picture. Often when me and my friends are on a trip or in a group we work together, and we want to immortalize this moment to always remember it and also to beautify the photo with filters

    1. Great point @agreeable_dusk, about how selfies help you to immortalise memories with your friends! One of the Topical Talk skills is creativity, can you give me 1 example of a downside of selfies?

    2. This is a lovely comment, photographs are for life!

      Do you think filters can have any negative impacts on people?

    3. That is a lovely thought! How do you think the selfie was invented? Did it require any special tools, engineering or science? What other innovations that needed to happen before the selfie could be invented?

  • Innovation number 18, which is milk, is the best innovation than other innovations
    For example, if we look more closely, we will discover that plants have ingredients to survive, for example, they need to breathe oxygen and glasses that they derive from the sun and for hardness they derive from the soil and to grow quickly they need natural fertilizers that keep their glasses and because the milk that all our children eat since their birth from their mothers is rich in everything the child’s body wants to grow.
    But because of the deaths of their mothers due to an unintentional medical error, or sometimes he talked about the ignorance of some doctors, so artificial milk was made as a substitute for mothers’ milk, as its benefits were numerous because it contains calcium that benefits our children for a healthy healthy growth, so it is a very important innovation for me.

  • 1/ The country that benefits most from space innovations is the country itself.
    This is done through the support and development of these innovations by the owners of the highest centers and specialists in the country.
    This support and success results in this country's economic, scientific and other strength and a wide and good reputation in this field.
    Which opens the door to competition between them and other countries.
    2/ As for the people who least benefit from space innovations, they are the people who live in occupied countries, where they cannot benefit from their resources and multiple possibilities in the production and development of innovations.
    3/ Every person who has an innovation from the image benefits from it well, but rather in an excellent way. From my point of view, the lamp is the most innovation that humans benefit from, because of its great importance in our lives, as we can consider it as our third eye and it is used in multi-functional energy generation.
    And frankly, we must thank the great scientist Thomas Edison for this great invention.

  • 1- In my opinion, the most benefiting from space inventions are the developed countries, because of their great impact on increasing the progress of countries. Where space inventions constitute the amount of differentiation between developed countries, and developed countries have worked to develop these inventions more and more, and their development is considered a battle between developed countries. Those who are able to develop them better win the battle.
    2- The people who benefit least from space inventions are the developing countries, where they do not have the ability to develop and use them normally, although their youth have mature minds and have important inventions, but they cannot develop them because they live in poverty. And the inability to evolve, which is the main reason not to take advantage of space inventions. 3- For me removing landmines is the most important because it saves many lives. Mines left over from war. For example, if children play and accidentally stop a child on a mine, it will lead to the loss of life or amputation of his feet, and thus he will live a difficult life unable to move, and working to remove it will generate life for many people, and we as students use pens to a large extent in Writing, teaching and other things. The pen is of great importance.

  • 1_ I think that the people who benefit most from space innovations are the owners of capital and the owners of companies, because they found that the demand for those inventions gave them space for competition and inventions that serve the existing development.. 2_ From my point of view, I see the least benefit from these innovations are the poor and crushed classes in developing countries. , are unable to buy these innovations, but most of them do not know about these innovations and their importance due to the lack of technological connection and communication with the modern world with its innovations and developments 3_ I chose medical glasses as the ideal solution for most cases of vision and vision correction, in our time many use social media Screens, reading and mobile phones affect the health of vision, so many things require preserving our eyes, so that we can be able to see the future through screens, and that poor vision does not stand in the way of the world in front of us,,,

  • 1.Who invented the formula for artificial infant formula because it gives the mother more flexibility and freedom of movement and the mother does not need to change her diet due to breastfeedingAlso, the composition of milk for children is very important in our lives, because without it, life would be more difficult for mothers



    2 .In my opinion, the people who benefit least from space innovations are the poor people, where many of their youth have great ideas and innovations, but because the government cannot invest their ideas because of weak capabilities, The people cannot benefit from innovations, whether by buying them from rich countries or applying the ideas of their youth, so young people who insist on their goal are forced to apply for scholarships and travel to rich countries and make their ideas succeed there,Thus, young people migrate from poor peoples, and the condition of the poor country and its people remains the same without noticeable change

    3.The most important space innovation for me is the pen, as there are many poor people who have become one of the richest people because of this pen. It allows everyone to express the opinion and the general situation of the country or the world and to take notes. Thanks to this pen, many people were able to become scholars. Discovering these innovations, and what do you think, can something be discovered without the pen? And if your answer is yes, how will that happen?

  • Great topic indeed.
    Let me start from the last point,there is no innovation that benefits everyone equally. So it is a general rule let me say.

    Secondly, those who benefit most are us the new generation. In one hand it makes our life easier and faster. On the other hand that means we should be responsible to make the life for the next generation easier too by developing more and more innovations.

  • I think that the people who benefit most from space innovations are people with special needs because they helped them integrate into society. For example, there are many space innovations that are used to help people with needs, such as implantable hearing aids, orthodontic braces, prosthetics, and scratch-resistant lenses that helped them advance in society. .
    I think that there are two categories of people who benefit least from space innovations. The first category is the residents of remote countries because of their distance from all forms of civilized development and their lack of use of technology, and the second category is the people who cannot afford the price of space innovations.
    I think the most important innovation for me is the non-scratch lenses

  • Actually it is a very exciting topic that I became curious to know more about it ,
    I think that exploring space ultimate goal is to save humanity and this creates a competition between governments to innovate more and more things and that help people, doctors, children in many fields.
    This process of continuous innovations accelerates the revolution in improving agriculture, medicine, teaching ,arts , and many other fields that helps humans to enhance their lives to the best and this explains the war that is held between countries about reaching and achieving more victories for humanity through space.

    1. That is great that this topic made you curious to learn more about! How could you go about that?

  • 1 -Young people because they are the most interested group in society with technology and advanced tools such as many space innovations.
    2- people who are financially weak because they definitely won't be able to own any of these innovations.
    3- The ballpoint pens are the most important to me because I use them regularly.
    4-Yes definitely use, as l said earlier, ink pen and wirelees head phones .

  • I think that the most benefit from these innovations are the economists, as discovering and promoting any of these innovations will make a lot of money, so economic companies compete to discover these tools, such as Reebok and Nike, which compete in the manufacture of sports shoes

    I think that the least benefit from these innovations are the developing (poor) countries, as I belong to a developing country and it does not contain many companies while not exploiting the youth of this country, because it is occupied and the occupation closes all ports to us, so I think that the occupied countries also do not use These innovations are abundant.

    What I use most of the tools and the most important for me is the sports shoe, as I spend a quarter of my day at school, they must help me a lot, and also do not cause diseases because they are very comfortable, and when I go to sports I wear sports shoes, to suit the sports Which I play, and also without it I would have found many people with diseases because of uncomfortable shoes

  • I think the most important innovation for me is Photo 18 infant formula, which increases their physique when they are young and strengthens bones and builds muscle, so that when they are older they have strength. The physical structure that is resistant to diseases and viruses

  • Space exploration alone has provided a great deal of important knowledge to educate people and raise their awareness about a basic understanding of our planet and the universe. Some of the direct benefits of space exploration include increasing knowledge about space, discovering distant planets and galaxies, and giving us an idea of ​​the beginnings of the universe

    1. Great comment original_history. How do you think space exploration has benefitted your life specifically?

  • I think that everyone benefits from these innovations because they facilitate life and the more the world develops
    I also believe that best innovation is the crealion of tools that help patients to facilitate their lives, such as hearing aids and prosthetic limbs, without them patients world suffer for life
    I use a lot of these innovations like ballpoint pens , sneakers and a computer mouse

  • I think that the beneficiaries of space innovations are humans who benefit from space and modern technology such as crash cameras in accidents such as fertilizers and laser photography. photography from space

    1. why do you think that industrious_sealion?

    2. I agree because... it is but why is it amazing?

    3. Hi industrious_sealion! I agree, space IS amazing. Why do you think that?

  • I'm not sure about this because it help people on earth and of earth so i am not so sure about what benefits and what does not!

    1. Which of the pictures above do you think benefits you the most and why?

      1. Number 1 because if we did not have hospitals people would die and even if we did but did not to have right thing to check on people we could not see what was going on in there body.

        And probably the one that is least important is because that is just cloth and other materials where as machine is made out of metal which is hard to find

    2. I'm not sure about this because...There are benefits, but it is the rich countries that benefit from them. Most of these inventions, poor countries cannot bear the cost

  • I think, learning about other planets and asteroids is interesting. We can learn from it what is going to happen and how it can be prevented.

    1. I really like you point about using space travel to prevent what is going to happen highspirited_elephant, do you think you could give an example of this?

    2. I agree because... if we did not have technology we can never know what will happen next!

  • I think that poor people benefit most because without space innovations they would basically have nothing but rich people can pay people to make this stuff for them . I use most of the items in the pictures and probably couldn't live without like trainers. If people did not work in space we would maybe die because of asteroids and gravity .

    1. why do you think you couldn't live without trainers? Because there is way more important stuff and trainers are just so people can keep there feet comfy, there are just at the bottom of the list for most important stuff to live with for example artificial limbs!

  • A: I think NASA workers benefit most from space innovations because its helped them since the moon landing in 1969, like Neil Armstrong said: " One small step for man one giant leap for mankind."
    B: i think people who don't have access to the internet benefit least from this because they they cannot see what is happening in the world. I think this is really unfair because the fumes from rockets affect those peoples homes and they have food shortages and it is really expensive to buy food referring to the cost of living crisis headline. and they don't deserve this.
    C: The MRI scanner because it saved my mothers life in 2021 because she had a brain tumor and my household benefited greatly from this.

    Thanks for reading

    1. You use brilliant reasoning and give great examples in your answers. You also think of others like those whose lives are affected by the cost of space travel by making links in your learning. Well done
