...1. Zippers 2. Velcro 3. Buttons 4. Shoelaces Most people think that the idea for "Velcro" sprung from the minds of NASA scientists on account of its usefulness in zero gravity. However, it was a walk through the mountains in 1941 that put George de Mestral on the track for inventing the unique velcro product. His inspiration was in the tiny little hooks and loops seen under the microscope when viewing burrs from the Burdock plant. De Mestral patented velcro in 1955 and it has been adapted and developed into a wide array of different products, including those textile adhesives used on board the space shuttle and space station. The word "velcro" is actually a combination of two french words -- velours meaning velvet and crochet meaning hook.
