Hi, I'm RJ, with another NASA fact.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
What do astronauts do if they get sick in space?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
NASA has invented all kinds of cool medical equipment that even benefits us non-astronauts.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
In 1961, NASA invented a special device to check an astronaut's blood pressure.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
It's the same type of device you see people use in stores.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Laser technology helps doctors open up blocked arteries, and it's even used in eye surgery.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
What other kinds of medical equipment has NASA invented?

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Babies can now have their temperature taken with new thermometers that are placed in the air.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
I know babies like that that are in regular thermometers.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
These technologies also let NASA doctors help astronauts without actually being in space.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
NASA scientists and doctors have sure made our lives better.

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000

Until next time, I'm RJ, with another cool NASA fact.
