The microwave oven didn't come from the space program. It came from the development of radar. Back in the 40's, a Raytheon technician who had a habit of carrying chocolate bars in his pockets noticed that every time he worked around the (unshielded!!) radar emitting equipment noticed that he would end up with a bunch of chocolate goo in his pocket. It was discovered that radar cooked food. This is why the first commercially available microwave ovens were called "Amana Radar Ranges", Amana being a consumer division of Raytheon.
