NASA loves NodeJs

After an accident in which one of the astronauts nearly died because of the ineffective data hosted in many locations, NASA faced the challenge of moving the data related to the EVA spacesuits to one cloud database in order to reduce the access times. The new system based on Node.js decreased the number of steps in the process from 28 to 7.
