NASA Goddard To Purge Rocket-Bursting Bubbles On Ares-1 Apr 19, 2009
"You get cavitation a tiny but powerful pressure wave that can erode bits of metal from the rocket's fuel pump. If those metal bits make it into the rocket engine, it is not good," says Robert Boyle, of the cryogenics branch at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Boyle is technical lead on a liquid helium pump which will be used to pressurize the fuel in the Ares 1 upper stage tanks. (Science Daily)

Space Age inventions you probably use Oct 9, 2007
NASA's experience in fuel-related cryogenics helped develop processes to freeze the tires to below -200 degrees Fahrenheit so that they crumble, separating the rubber from other materials and producing what's called "crumb.". This waste is recycled into several new products, including an ingredient used to pave highways, which means your new radial tires may someday be rolling over your old ones. (CNN -- Tech)
