Abstract
Millions of adults grew up drinking orange flavored Tang™ at breakfast. In a widespread advertising campaign, parents learned that NASA astronauts drink Tang™ in space, and therefore, it's good for children. Tang™ became famous, and many attributed its invention to the space program. It was one example of how exploring space benefited people on Earth. The only thing true about this story, though, is that astronauts did drink it in space.
