Does NASA still use O-Rings in their Shuttles?
Yes
How did space exploration contribute to the development of braces?
Space exploration led to the development of memory metal through research on NASA's space shuttle program. This memory metal, also known as nitinol, was later used in orthodontic braces due to its ability to return to its original shape after being deformed. This innovation helped improve the comfort and effectiveness of braces in orthodontic treatment.
