<p>Maybe, despite a week of SPACE FEVER, you still aren't sold on the idea of NASA. Maybe sexy <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/08/the-curiosity-landing-already-has-a-meme-nasas-mohawk-guy/260733/">mohawk-rocking scientists </a>and <a href="http://http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/09/13203964-panorama-reveals-a-colorful-mars?lite">sick panoramic images</a> of an alien planet leave you cold. After all, it's not like we're sending real-life human astronauts anywhere anytime soon.</p>
<p>Well, oh ye of little faith, behold <a href="http://wtfnasa.com/">wtfNASA</a>, a single-serve site devoted entirely to answering the question, "What the fuck has NASA done to make your life awesome?" Merely one example of many: inspired the design for your Speedo bathing suit. You're welcome.</p>
<p>However, it appears the creator of this entertaining little site has neglected a very important contribution to American pop culture for which NASA is at least tangentially responsible: <em>I Dream of Jeanie</em>. We demand more Major Nelson.</p>
