"On [July 20, 2009], which marks the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, by the U.S. Apollo 11 mission astronauts including Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr., the world can reflect on all of the contributions the NASA Space Program has offered to the red hot field of Green technology.  A list of five major areas has been compiled where space exploration has enabled various Green elements of society. They are ranked from one through five based on the overall nature of the impact of the related applications associated with each category. The categories are somewhat arbitrary and the applications are by no means a comprehensive list; however, many of the well-known linkages have been identified.""On [July 20, 2009], which marks the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, by the U.S. Apollo 11 mission astronauts including Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin Jr., the world can reflect on all of the contributions the NASA Space Program has offered to the red hot field of Green technology.  A list of five major areas has been compiled where space exploration has enabled various Green elements of society.
