Space Race tech advances question.

[grimlocke2010]

  I know the space race from the 60's gave us Tang, velcro, and satellites, but where would I go to find out what other advances were derived from the Space Race?  I would also like to know peoples opinions on what they think are the top 3 technological advances from the Space Race are.
