It's strange to me that all of the knowledge it took to make a device with this kind of precision was lost for 1400 some odd years. What the hell happened?

- fit2rule 10y agoQuite literally, NASA couldn't rebuild the Apollo engines after the program was shut down: we lost the plans and the technology to do that. It had to all be reverse-engineered. The point is: technology doesn't last any longer than the people who produced it.
