I have an idea for a new thread...

Well, I daily use advanced ceramics, composite plastics and bonding techniques that originated with the space shuttle program. Not sure what I use that can be quite so directly attributed to the moon shot. Maybe my titanium shoulder and bike frame?

2. Computer microchip: modern microchips descend from integrated circuits used in the Apollo Guidance Computer.

 

3. Cordless tools: power drills and vacuum cleaners use technology designed to drill for moon samples.

 

8. Joystick: this computer gaming device was first used on the Apollo Lunar Rover.

 

10. Satellite television: technology used to fix errors in spacecraft signals helps reduce scrambled pictures and sound in satellite television signals

I remember looking at the actual Apollo capsule in which they returned after the moon landing, when I visited the Air & Space museum in Washington DC. It struck me as such a tiny little thing where 3 guys were sardined into a space like a small 2 seater couch. I was also amazed at how ancient the instruments looked compared to basic things like modern phones and cars. I was truly glad there were other nutters mad enough to fly to the moon and back in a piece of junk like that, but I sure as hell wouldn't have volunteered.

+1.  I often wondered how the heck one volunteers for something like this.  Their wifes had to be real naggers.

Maybe that's why they wanted to get away

ps. Anyone here who worked on the SA 'space' program at Houwteq/the Range?

 

 

 

I still go to Houwteq every now and then to do some  EMC testing.

 

I love listening to the stories of all that was going on at Houwteq pre-1994.
