like lasers right? Tell me we have laser weapons in space! Or do you mean really small but smart contributions that no one other than rocket scientists would know about!
As for MENSA - for sure. Pretentious little kiddies.
We actually had a very cool laser program for many years. One of the times that the company changed hands, the parent company kept the lasers part.
But we did a lot of very neat electrical power systems, including the whole electrical power management system for the space station.

That probably would have been a good design feature because it turns out potatoes grow well in space, but we opted to go with solar power.
