Which company in the world would need the best anti-fog solution? NASA.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has spent a lot of money researching on a substance which can be coated on their helmet visor in order for it to stay clear of condensation.

On 25th May 2011, Discovery News reported that an astronaut had some minor tearing problem as this antifog solution had accidentally dripped into his eyes.

“The anti-fog is just off-the-shelf dishwashing soap. So if you have ever had soap in your eye, you know how that feels.”

Are you spending $15 on a small bottle of special solution? Do you want us to sell you a repackaged detergent?
