Well, I can't say much about space travel, let alone applications of one-sided surfaces to same.

It's all up to you. E.g., knots are the subject of mathematical theory but also are used to hold sneakers on feet.

I do not believe there is one comprehensive site covering all aspects of the Moebius strip. There's definitely an opprotunity for a resourceful fellow.

When you search the Web, look for both "Moebius strip" and "Moebius band" that are used interchageably.
